Public Holidays in July 2025: NSE & BSE Trading Updates and State Festival Dates

July 2025 brings several state-specific public holidays across India, including Bonalu in Telangana, Martyrs’ Day in Jammu & Kashmir, and Kharchi Puja in Tripura. These holidays will affect local operations and may influence market activity.

Muharram Holiday and Market Impact

Muharram, a significant Islamic observance, is expected on July 7, 2025, though the date may vary based on the moon sighting. On Muharram, many states observe a public holiday closing banks, government offices, schools, and private institutions. Both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will be closed all day, affecting trading in equities, derivatives, and other segments. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will close only for the morning session and reopen for evening trading from 5:00 PM to 11:30/11:55 PM.

Weekend Market Closures

NSE and BSE markets remain closed every Saturday and Sunday. In July 2025, these non-trading days fall on:

• Saturdays: July 5, 12, 19, 26
• Sundays: July 6, 13, 20, 27

This totals eight standard non-trading days for the month, with no additional national market holidays declared.
