BSE and NSE Shut for Maharashtra Civic Polls as MCX Opens Only From 5 PM

The holiday follows a state order that disrupted banking and settlement operations.

Overview

  • Equity, F&O, and currency trading on the BSE and NSE is closed for the day, with markets set to reopen on Friday, January 16.
  • MCX cancelled the morning session and will operate an evening window from 5:00 pm to 11:55 pm, with select agri contracts trading until 9:00 pm.
  • NSE and BSE moved equity-derivatives expiries originally set for January 15 to January 14 and reflected the change in contract master files.
  • The exchanges revised earlier notices that had marked January 15 only as a settlement holiday, formalizing a full trading holiday.
  • Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath criticised the shutdown as poor planning that could weaken perceptions among global investors.
