On this day, there will be no transactions across all major segments, including equity, derivatives, securities lending and borrowing, currency derivatives, and electronic gold receipts.
The next and final market holiday of 2025 will be on December 25 for Christmas. Apart from these two holidays, trading remains closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Regular market hours are from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm, with a pre-opening session from 9:00 am to 9:15 am.
Meanwhile, the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will also observe a holiday on November 5, with morning session trading (9 am–5 pm) remaining suspended. Evening session operations will resume as usual from 5 pm to 11:30/11:55 pm.
Additionally, banks in several cities will remain closed on November 5 for Guru Nanak Dev Ji Jayanti, as per the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday schedule.
