Overview

• The Muhurat window runs from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm on Tuesday with a 1:30–1:45 pm pre‑open, reflecting a shift from the recent evening slot.
• Regular trade is normal on Monday, Oct. 20, pauses on Oct. 21–22 for Diwali Laxmi Pujan and Balipratipada, and resumes on Thursday, Oct. 23.
• Equity delivery trades executed on Oct. 20 and during the Muhurat hour will settle on Thursday, Oct. 23, per exchange schedules.
• Exchanges have set detailed operational windows, including a 1:15–1:30 pm block deal session, a special pre‑open for select securities, call auctions for illiquid stocks, and post‑close modification.
• The one‑hour ritual is largely symbolic with typically light volumes and a historical positive bias, as investors track key quarterly results and global cues this week.
