April 29 Stock Market Holiday or not in India?

Apr 28, 2026, 15:21 IST

As investors plan their trades for the week, a common question arises—will the stock market remain open on April 29? Based on the official trading calendar and current conditions, Wednesday, April 29, is a regular working day for the Indian stock market.

There are no festivals, national holidays, or special occasions scheduled on this date that would warrant a market closure. Therefore, both major exchanges—the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE)—will operate as usual.

Regular Trading on April 29

Since April 29 falls on a typical weekday and does not coincide with any public or regional holiday, trading will take place during standard market hours:

Equity Market Timing: 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM
Pre-open Session: 9:00 AM to 9:15 AM

All segments, including equity, derivatives, and currency markets, are expected to function normally.

No State-Wise Holidays Impacting Markets

Unlike certain regional holidays that may affect banks or schools in specific states, stock markets follow a uniform national holiday calendar. As of now, there are no state-specific observances on April 29 that impact trading activities.
