With two major festivals lined up next week, the Indian stock exchanges, National Stock Exchange and the BSE, will remain closed for two days. The stock markets will not be operating on Monday, March 25, on account of the festival of Holi. A holiday will also be observed on Friday, March 29, due to the Christian festival Good Friday.
The holiday on Holi will mark the second one this month, about two weeks after the markets were closed on March 8 due to Mahashivrati celebrations.
The trading hours of the Indian stock market are from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays from Monday to Friday.
