Independence Day 2023: NSE, BSE decked in hues of Tricolour to commemorate momentous occasion

The nation will celebrate its 77th Independence Day on Tuesday, August 15th. Ahead of the Independence Day celebrations — the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) — have been decked in hues of the Tricolour to commemorate this auspicious occasion. 

Both the stock exchanges were bathed in the colourful lights signifying the three colours of the Tiranga that symbolise the patriotism, freedom and honour.

Wishing everyone a joyous Independence day, Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO of NSE, said, “On the occasion of our Independence Day, let us remember the sacrifice and contribution of our nation’s freedom fighters who envisioned a sovereign and prosperous India. As one of the leading global economies, we stand on the cusp of transformation, growth and development, echoing the spirit of a resurgent India. NSE remains focused on being a catalyst for capital market formation, nation-building and job creation, and continues its sustained efforts towards empowering investors. Happy Independence Day.”

Both NSE and BSE will remain closed on Tuesday, August 15, on account of India’s Independence Day. Apart from the NSE and BSE, trading will also remain closed on country’s largest commodity exchange — the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) — and agriculture commodity index NCDEX (National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited).

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the Nation in celebrating the 77th Independence Day from the iconic Red Fort in Delhi.  

This year's Independence Day will mark the culmination of the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations, which were launched by the Prime Minister from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on March 12, 2021.

It will also usher the country into 'Amrit Kaal' with renewed vigour to realise Prime Minister Modi's dream of making India a developed country by 2047.
