Stock market holiday: The Maharashtra state government has declared a public holiday on 8 September 2025 for Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi. The announcement was made through an official notification issued by the Department of General Administration on Wednesday. The Maharashtra state government took this decision after the Muslim community decided to hold the Eid-e-Milad procession on September 8. The change was made to maintain harmony on Anant Chaturdashi, which falls on September 6, when immersion of Ganpati idols will happen. So, this is expected to cause doubt among stock market investors about whether Monday would also be a stock market holiday due to the public holiday in Mumbai City and its suburbs.
To avoid confusion, investors and stock market observers are advised to look at the stock market holidays 2025 list on the official BSE website — bseindia.com.
