Muhurat Trading 2025: Market Closed But Investors Get A One-Hour Golden Chance
Even though Diwali has passed, the Indian stock market isn’t open like a regular Tuesday. Both the BSE and NSE are closed today, October 21, for a Diwali holiday.
But here’s the twist — investors still get a special one-hour Muhurat Trading session to buy and sell shares, marking the start of the new Hindu financial year, Samvat 2082.
Why Is The Market Closed A Day After Diwali?
Usually, Muhurat Trading happens on Diwali day. But this year, due to Maharashtra’s official Diwali holiday schedule, October 21 (Tuesday) has been declared a stock market holiday.
That’s why exchanges decided to keep regular trading closed today, and instead open only for the Muhurat Trading hour.

Muhurat Trading 2025 Timings
According to the official notice by NSE and BSE, here’s how the day looks:
- Pre-Open Session: 1:30 PM to 1:45 PM
- Muhurat Trading Window: 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM
- Trade Modification Cut-off: 2:55 PM
During this one-hour window, traders can perform all usual activities — buying, selling, and investing in their favorite stocks — but settlement rules remain the same as any normal trading day.
What Is Muhurat Trading?
For those new to the concept — Muhurat Trading is a symbolic trading session that marks the beginning of the new Hindu financial year.
It’s considered highly auspicious, and many investors believe that buying shares during this session brings prosperity and good luck throughout the year. Brokers also perform Laxmi Pujan before the market opens to invoke blessings for wealth and success.

Why Muhurat Trading Still Matters
Even though it lasts only an hour, Muhurat Trading carries deep cultural and emotional significance for Indian investors.
It’s less about day-trading profits and more about starting the new Samvat year on a positive note. Many families treat this as a yearly ritual — just like lighting diyas or exchanging sweets — but with a modern financial twist.
So if you’re planning to invest today, this one-hour session could be your good luck charm for Samvat 2082.
