The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Ltd. will close their equity markets Tuesday, Nov. 10, for a Diwali holiday, pausing regular share trading after a separately scheduled Sunday session.

NSE’s calendar names the holiday “Diwali-Balipratipada,” while BSE’s notice uses “Diwali Balipratipada.” NSE also lists its futures-and-options segment as closed, and BSE’s holiday notice covers equity derivatives.

The exchanges scheduled a special Diwali Muhurat trading session for Sunday, Nov. 8. Their notices set continuous equity trading to begin at 3:50 a.m. ET. The scheduled end was 5 a.m. ET for stocks outside the closing auction and 4:45 a.m. ET for closing-auction stocks. NSE’s calendar lists the Sunday session separately from the Tuesday holiday.

Both exchanges list Nov. 24 as their next weekday trading holiday, for Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev.
