BSE, NSE to remain closed on these days in New Year 2025
Did you know that 2025 will have fewer market holidays than 2024? Yes, this is because some of the holidays are falling on weekends in the coming year. Here is a summary of the key dates to mark on your 2025 market calendar.
List of Market Holidays in 2025: Market participants—especially those who can't get enough of their busy hours on Dalal Street—are set to have an eventful 2025 with fewer holidays during the year compared to 2024. This is because days like Republic Day will be during the weekend in the New Year in contrast to 2024 when they were during weekdays. The year 2024 also had more holidays on account of general and assembly elections.
On the other hand, 2025 will have two holidays that were not there the previous year: Mahavir Jayanti and Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti. This is because these days occurred during the weekend in 2024.
Market Holiday List 2025: Here is a complete list of market holidays in the New Year 2025:
