Overview

  • Trading will run from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 21, with a pre-open window from 1:30 pm to 1:45 pm as confirmed by BSE and NSE.
  • Both exchanges will allow post-close trade modifications until 2:55 pm, covering equities, derivatives, commodities, currencies and securities lending and borrowing.
  • Regular trading is open on Monday, Oct. 20, while Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 are holidays for normal sessions; trades from Oct. 20–21 will settle on Oct. 23.
  • This year’s session shifts to the afternoon rather than the usual evening slot, maintaining the event’s symbolic character and typically light volumes.
  • Analysts flag ongoing Q2 results from heavyweights such as Reliance, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank along with global cues like tariffs, crude and currency moves as key drivers for the shortened week.
