The Indian stock market, comprising the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), will remain closed for trading on April 3, 2026, due to Good Friday. This closure is the second holiday this week, following a break for Mahavir Jayanti on March 31. The market is currently experiencing significant selling pressure, attributed to rising crude oil prices amid ongoing conflicts in West Asia, which has led to a 11% decline in the Nifty 50 index throughout March. In total, the BSE and NSE have recognized 20 holidays for the year 2026, with four coinciding with weekends, leaving 16 weekdays when trading will be suspended. Additionally, the markets will observe another holiday on April 14 for Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti, with further closures anticipated in May for Maharashtra Day and Bakri Id.
