The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will be closed today in observance of the Diwali suspending trading across many divisions. As a result, there will be no trading in the Equity, Equity Derivative, or Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segments. Additionally, the Currency Derivatives Segment will take a break today, stated media reports.

To commemorate the festival of lights, a one-hour Muhurat Trading session is planned for Friday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Muhurat Trading, a special session held on Diwali evening, represents prosperity and ushers in the new Samvat year, or Hindu fiscal year.
