The Indian stock markets, including the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), will remain shut on Monday, March 31, 2025, in observance of Id-Ul-Fitr (Ramzan Id). Trading activities, including equities, derivatives, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB), will be paused for the day and resume on Tuesday, April 1.

The closure marks the beginning of a three-day weekend for traders, as markets are shut on Saturday and Sunday. Investors will have to wait until April 1 to resume normal trading.

Apart from March 31, the Indian stock market will also observe holidays on:

The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will operate partially on March 31, with the evening session from 5 PM to 11:30/11:55 PM remaining open. However, the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will remain fully closed.

Indian equities saw a strong rebound in the last trading session, led by gains in PSU Banks, Oil & Gas, and financial services stocks. The BSE Sensex rose 317.93 points to close at 77,606.43, while the NSE Nifty50 climbed 105.10 points to settle at 23,591.95. Auto stocks, however, faced pressure due to the announcement of a 25 per cent tariff on imported cars and key auto parts by the US.

While the break provides time for investors to strategize, market participants should be prepared for potential volatility when trading resumes on April 1. With multiple holidays in April, investors may need to adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
