Is the Indian Stock Market Open Today, July 7th? Your Muharram Holiday Guide

For investors wondering about today's trading schedule, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the BSE are operating under normal hours on Monday, July 7, 2025. Despite Muharram being observed, it did not lead to a trading holiday as the significant day of Ashura, the 10th of Muharram, fell on Sunday, July 6, a regular market closure day.

Muharram, a month of profound religious significance in the Islamic calendar, is being commemorated across the country. However, its observance has not impacted India's financial markets or essential public services. Banks, schools, government offices, and postal services are all functioning as usual today.
