Indian Stock Market Closed Today: NSE, BSE Holiday on September 14

Indian stock market closed today: Why are NSE and BSE shut?

The Indian stock market is closed today, Monday, September 14, 2026, as the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) observe a trading holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi.

The official NSE holiday calendar lists September 14 as a trading holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi. BSE’s 2026 trading holiday schedule also lists September 14 as a holiday for the equity and equity derivatives segments.

As a result, investors will not be able to carry out normal equity trading on NSE or BSE today. Equity derivatives trading will also remain closed.

The market holiday is separate from bank and government-office holidays because stock exchanges maintain their own trading calendars.

For investors who regularly track the Indian stock market, today’s closure means the next regular trading session will be on Tuesday, September 15.

NSE BSE holiday today: What is closed on September 14?

The September 14 holiday affects the major domestic equity-market trading segments.

NSE

The National Stock Exchange has declared Monday, September 14, 2026, a trading holiday on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. The exchange’s regular equity market will therefore remain closed.

BSE

BSE has also included September 14 in its 2026 trading holiday calendar for the equity and equity derivatives segments.

Equity and derivatives trading

Investors should therefore not expect normal buying and selling activity in the domestic equity market today.

This is different from simply having a shorter trading session. September 14 is a full trading holiday for the relevant domestic equity segments.

Stock market holiday vs settlement holiday: What is the difference?

The terms trading holiday and settlement holiday are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings.

A trading holiday means the exchange is closed for trading. Investors cannot execute normal buy or sell transactions through the exchange during the regular trading session.

A settlement holiday, on the other hand, relates to the clearing and settlement of transactions. A settlement holiday does not necessarily mean that the stock exchange itself is closed for trading.

For September 14, 2026, Ganesh Chaturthi has been designated as a trading holiday in the NSE’s 2026 calendar.

Investors should therefore check both trading and settlement calendars when planning transactions around exchange holidays.

MCX trading timings on Ganesh Chaturthi

The commodity market follows a different schedule from the equity market.

On September 14, MCX will remain closed during its morning trading session, while the evening session is scheduled to reopen at 5 PM.

The evening session can continue until 11:30 PM, with the closing time extending to 11:55 PM during the period when US Daylight Saving Time is applicable.

Therefore, investors tracking gold, silver and other commodities should not assume that the MCX follows exactly the same holiday schedule as NSE and BSE.

This is particularly relevant for traders tracking Gold Rate Today and international commodity movements.

Stock market holidays 2026: Upcoming NSE and BSE holidays

After the September 14 Ganesh Chaturthi holiday, several trading holidays remain on the 2026 calendar.

The NSE’s official calendar confirms the above remaining trading holidays for 2026.

Investors should also note that Diwali Laxmi Pujan falls on Sunday, November 8, 2026, for which Muhurat Trading is scheduled separately. NSE says the timings will be notified through a separate circular.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 date and puja muhurat

Ganesh Chaturthi is being observed on Monday, September 14, 2026.

The festival is traditionally associated with the birth of Lord Ganesha. Devotees perform Ganesh Puja during the Madhyahna period, which is considered especially auspicious for the festival.

According to the timings provided in the source material, the Ganesh Chaturthi Puja Muhurat in Mumbai is from 11:20 AM to 1:48 PM, while in New Delhi it is from 11:02 AM to 1:31 PM.

The exact puja timings can vary by location, so readers should check local Panchang timings for their city.

Indian stock market weekly performance: Sensex and Nifty fall for fifth week

The market holiday comes after a difficult week for Indian equities.

The benchmark indices ended lower for the fifth consecutive week, with concerns over crude oil prices, global bond yields and US inflation weighing on investor sentiment.

The Sensex declined 2.27% during the week to 74,781.76, while the Nifty 50 fell 2.09% to 23,398.10.

Broader markets also remained under pressure. The midcap index declined 1.40%, while the smallcap index fell 0.88%.

The weakness highlights the cautious mood among investors as markets continue to respond to global macroeconomic developments.

Nifty 50 outlook: 23,000–23,100 zone remains important

The Nifty 50 has remained under selling pressure and has extended its corrective phase for the fifth consecutive week.

According to the market view cited in the source material, the 23,000–23,100 zone is an important support area. A decisive break below this range could open the way towards the 22,400 level.

On the upside, 23,600 is expected to act as an immediate hurdle, while the 23,900–24,200 zone remains a major resistance area.

For investors, the next trading session will therefore be important for assessing whether the index can stabilise after the recent decline or whether selling pressure continues.

Sensex outlook: 74,000–75,200 range in focus

The Sensex closed at 74,781.76, down 120.83 points, or 0.16%, in the final session of the week.

According to the technical view provided in the source material, the immediate support for the index is placed around 74,000–74,160, while 75,000–75,200 is an important resistance zone.

The broader trading range is expected to remain between these levels unless the index makes a convincing breakout on either side.

This means investors may continue to see volatility when trading resumes on Tuesday, particularly as global cues, crude oil prices, bond yields and inflation concerns remain important market drivers.

What investors should watch when the market reopens on September 15

With NSE and BSE closed today, investors will have to wait until Tuesday for the next regular equity trading session.

Some of the key factors to watch include:

• Movement in crude oil prices.
• Global bond yields and US inflation expectations.
• Asian and other global market trends.
• Nifty 50 support around 23,000–23,100.
• Nifty resistance around 23,600 and 23,900–24,200.
• Sensex support around 74,000–74,160.
• Sensex resistance around 75,000–75,200.
• Fresh institutional buying or selling after the holiday.

Rather than focusing only on the previous week’s decline, investors should watch how the indices behave around these technical levels when trading resumes.
