Stock market holiday: Will the Indian stock market remain closed on the occasion of Janmashtami
Stock market holiday: Following a prosperous week for the Indian stock market, a number of stock investors and fans of Dalal Street are curious about the reopening date. This ambiguity stems from the fact that Janmashtami 2024 happens on August 26, 2024, which is today. The BSE or NSE website is the best place to look for information on stock market holidays in 2024 if you’re not sure whether Monday will be a holiday.
