NSE and BSE are closed on October 2, 2026, for the observance of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti. With the holiday falling on a Friday, the closure extends into a three-day break from regular equity trading.
Trading resumes on October 5. Times of India also notes that the Multi Commodity Exchange is closed on the same date, and highlights that investors have been dealing with declines over the prior several sessions, citing factors such as foreign selling and higher crude oil prices. The outlet further states that the broader trading schedule is affected by upcoming Dussehra and Diwali holidays.
Overall, the main common point across outlets is the exchange closure on October 2 for Gandhi Jayanti and the subsequent resumption of trading on October 5, while other details vary slightly by outlet focus (such as additional exchange closures and market context).
