NSE Holidays 2026

There are 15 NSE trading holidays in 2026 for the Capital Market Segment, which includes mutual funds. However, the number and timing of holidays differ across equity, currency and commodity segments. For mutual fund investors, these holidays may also be relevant when checking transaction, NAV and settlement timelines. 

If you invest in mutual funds, it can be useful to keep track of National Stock Exchange (NSE) holidays. Market holidays can affect trading in the securities held by mutual fund schemes and affect certain mutual fund transactions.

That’s why knowing the NSE holidays in 2026 is important. This guide walks you through all the National Stock Exchange holidays in 2026 so you know exactly when the market is closed. 

Not every NSE holiday applies in the same way across all market segments. Depending on the segment, trading may be closed for the full day, only for a particular session, or may follow a separate holiday calendar altogether.

• Equity and Equity Derivatives: These segments generally remain closed for the full day on their notified trading holidays.
• Commodity Derivatives: Some holidays apply only to the morning session, with trading reopening in the evening. On certain holidays, both sessions remain closed.
• Currency Derivatives: Currency markets have some additional trading holidays in 2026, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, Gudi Padwa, Annual Bank Closing, and Id-E-Milad.

So, before placing a trade around an NSE holiday, check the holiday calendar for the specific market segment rather than assuming the entire exchange is closed.

The National Stock Exchange holiday list has 20 clearing holidays for 2026. A clearing holiday is a day when the clearing and settlement of trades does not take place, even though trading may still be open for certain segments. As a result, the settlement of securities and funds for affected trades is generally moved to the next applicable settlement day.

Understanding NSE holidays in 2026 is important for mutual fund investors because it can impact your MF transactions as well. Here’s how:

• SIP processing: If your SIP falls on an NSE holiday, it is generally processed on the next working day. 
• NAV allotment: The NAV will also be that of the next working day when the transaction is executed.
• Mutual fund redemptions: A redemption request made on a non-business day is generally taken up on the next business day. This may also push back when you receive the redemption proceeds. 
• No NAV updates: AMCs don’t declare fresh NAVs on trading holidays. 

The National Stock Exchange holidays in 2026 differ depending on the market segment. While the equity market has 15 weekday trading holidays, currency derivatives have additional holidays, and commodity derivatives may remain open for part of the day on certain dates.

So, when checking an NSE stock market holiday, make sure you look at the calendar for the specific segment you trade or invest in.
