Stock Market Holiday 2025
Stock Market Holiday 2025: The Indian stock markets, including the BSE and NSE, will remain closed on April 10, 2025, in observance of Shri Mahavir Jayanti, which marks the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, the 24th and final Tirthankara in Jainism.
As a result, trading will be halted across all segments, including equity derivatives, securities lending and borrowing (SLB), currency derivatives, NDS-RST, Tri Party Repo, and commodity derivatives.
Stock Market Update:
Indian stock markets were in the red on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, following the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision to reduce the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6%. This move, along with the impending US tariffs, contributed to a dip in the indices.
By 1:00 PM, the BSE Sensex was down 322.20 points (0.43%) at 73,904.88, and the Nifty50 had fallen by 108.50 points (0.48%), settling at 22,427.35.
This came after a strong rally in the previous session, where the Sensex surged by 1,089.18 points (1.49%) to close at 74,227.08, and the Nifty50 jumped 374.25 points (1.69%) to end at 22,535.85.
