Stock market holidays 2026: Amid a public holiday in Maharashtra on January 15 due to local body elections across several municipal jurisdictions, including Mumbai, many investors are wondering if the Indian stock market will be open for trading tomorrow.
Since Indian stock exchanges are based in Mumbai, both the BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) announced a stock market holiday earlier this week. Therefore, investors must note that the Indian stock market is closed for trading tomorrow, January 15. This trading holiday was not part of the original stock market holiday calendar shared by NSE in December, but was added on Monday.
BSE and NSE announced that Thursday, January 15, will be a trading holiday in the equity and equity derivatives segment on account of the Municipal Corporation Election in Maharashtra. Apart from this, the currency markets will also be shut, while trading in the commodity derivatives segment will take place in the evening session.
