The Indian stock market is experiencing high volatility amid the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran. As part of this context, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain closed on March 26, 2026, in observance of Ram Navami. Trading on both exchanges will resume on March 27.
In addition to the closure of the BSE and NSE, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India will also experience disruptions. The commodity derivatives segment will remain closed during the morning session on March 26 but will resume trading in the evening.
For the year 2026, there are a total of 16 stock market holidays scheduled. Following the closure on March 26, the next holiday will be observed on March 31 for Mahavir Jayanti. Additionally, trading will be suspended on April 3 for Good Friday.
As the year progresses, the Indian stock market will also observe holidays on April 14 for Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti, May 1 for Maharashtra Day, and May 28 for Bakri Eid. Further closures are scheduled for June 26 for Muharram and October 2 for Gandhi Jayanti, with the final market holiday of the year set for December 25 for Christmas.
The current P/E ratio of the Nifty 50 stands at 20x, indicating market conditions that investors are closely monitoring. As the market navigates these challenges, the upcoming holidays may further impact trading volumes and investor sentiment.
As the situation develops, market analysts will be watching for any changes in trading patterns and investor behavior in response to the scheduled holidays and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
