Stock market holidays: Nifty, Sensex to remain closed for trading on 14 weekdays in 2024
India's stock market is governed by two principal exchanges: the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The BSE is notably the oldest stock exchange in Asia and the 10th oldest in the world. Despite its historical precedence, the NSE took the lead in modernising India's trading landscape when it introduced the country's first fully electronic trading system.

Stock Market Holidays 2024

Both the NSE and BSE provide a platform for trading in diverse financial instruments, including equities, equity derivatives, debt, and interest rate futures. In terms of stock market holidays and trading timings, both exchanges operate on a similar schedule. The stock market holidays for 2024, as announced by NSE and BSE, consist of 14 holidays in total, excluding weekends. These holidays signify days when the exchanges will remain closed, as outlined in circulars issued by both entities.

National Stock Exchange (NSE)

Established in 1992, the NSE pioneered the concept of a decentralised electronic exchange platform in India. It marked a significant milestone with the launch of its flagship index, Nifty 50, in 1996. Comprising the top 50 companies in India, Nifty 50 serves as a key benchmark. Additionally, the NSE features other prominent indices such as Nifty Next 50, Nifty 100, Nifty Pharma, Nifty Metal, and Nifty Auto, representing diverse sectors within the economy.

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

The BSE introduced its first equity index, SENSEX, encompassing the top 30 trading companies from various sectors across India. Alongside SENSEX, the BSE lists several other major indices, including BSE 100, BSE 200, and BSE 500, which represent the top 100, 200, and 500 companies in India, respectively. Other indices such as BSE Midcap, BSE Smallcap, BSE Auto, and BSE Metal contribute to the exchange's comprehensive market representation.
