With the festive season underway after Ganesh chaturthi in late August, many investors are wondering about the next set of stock market holidays. Both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) were shut on Wednesday, August 27, 2025To mark ganesh chaturthi.

For September, however, investors should note that there are no special trading holidays apart from weekends. This means the Indian stock market will remain closed on eight days in September—all Saturdays and Sundays.

The next round of market holidays will fall in October 2025when trading will be suspended on three occasions due to major festivals and a national holiday.

Market performance so far in 2025

Indian equities have delivered mixed results this year. The Nifty 50 is up nearly 3% year-to-datewhile the Sensex has gained around 2%. Monthly trends have been split, with both indices rising in four months and declining in four months.

• In August 2025the Sensex slipped 1.7%following a nearly 3% fall in July.

• Earlier, between March and June, indices staged a strong rally, gaining nearly 14% in four months.

• January and February were weaker, adding to the volatility seen across the year.

With global factors like US tariff policies, foreign institutional investor (FII) flows, and domestic reforms such as GST in focus, analysts expect volatility to persist in the months ahead.
