The Indian equity and commodity markets will remain closed on Friday, August 15, 2025, in observance of the nation’s 78th Independence Day. Trading will resume on Monday, August 18, 2025.
Equity Market Closure
Both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will be shut for all segments, including:
- Equity trading
- Derivatives (F&O)
- Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB)
This closure is part of the official trading holiday calendar for the year.
Commodity Market Closure
Major commodity platforms will also observe a full-day shutdown:
- Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) – No trading in bullion, energy, and other commodities in both morning and evening sessions.
- National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) – No trading in agricultural products such as oilseeds, pulses, and spices.
The synchronized closure across equity and commodity markets will give traders and investors a long weekend, but they may anticipate volatility when markets reopen as positions and strategies are adjusted post-holiday.
