The year 2022 is about to end, and we are entering a new year - 2023. Every individual will have personal and financial goals for the new year. However, before you start planning, it is crucial to get your planner ready. One of the essential considerations in every new year's planning is the list of holidays.
India is a land of linguistic and cultural diversity as we carry a long history. For this reason, we have many regional and national festivals throughout the year. Like every other organization, the Indian stock market has its own holiday lists. Investors must be aware of the holidays as they can help them plan their activities and make better investment decisions.
When we talk about the Indian equity market, there are two major stock exchanges - BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange). A stock can list on either of two, or it could be on both exchanges. The Indian market functions from Monday to Friday and is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Apart from the weekly closure, the stock market is closed on other days - national holidays and festivals.
