Indian benchmark indices are set for an extended long weekend as trading across the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will remain suspended on Monday, September 14, 2026, in observance of Ganesh Chaturthi.
Combined with the regular weekend closures on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13, domestic financial markets will see a three-day break before reopening on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
Affected Segments Across Exchanges
According to the official holiday calendars published by the NSE and BSE, all primary trading and settlement activities will remain halted on September 14:
- Equity cash market
- Equity derivatives segment (Futures & Options)
- Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segment
- Currency derivatives segment
- Interest rate derivatives and corporate debt mechanisms
- Electronic Gold Receipts (EGR) segment
No trade settlements will be executed during the day, meaning settlement cycles for trades completed late last week will roll over to subsequent business days.
Commodity Market Timings
Trading on commodity bourses will follow a split schedule on Monday. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will suspend trading during its morning session from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM IST. However, the platform will reopen for evening trading starting at 5:00 PM and continue until 11:30 PM or 11:55 PM, depending on specific contract specifications, aligning domestic commodity pricing with active overseas markets.
