The Indian stock market will be closed on March 26, 2026, in observance of Ram Navami. Trading on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will resume on March 27, 2026.

On this holiday, the commodity segment will see a break in the morning session, but trading will resume in the evening session. The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) will be closed for the first session from 9 am to 5 pm, while the largest agri-commodity exchange, NCDEX, will remain closed in both sessions.

This closure is part of a series of stock market holidays scheduled for 2026, with a total of 16 holidays planned throughout the year. Following Ram Navami, the next market holiday will be on March 31, 2026, for Shri Mahavir Jayanti, and the market will also be closed on April 3, 2026, for Good Friday.
