Stock market holidays: On Wednesday, both benchmark indices, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, were trading on a muted note but managed to maintain a positive bias, inching up by 0.11% and 0.12%, respectively, at last check. Investors are adjusting their positions to accommodate a holiday-shortened schedule, as the markets prepare to shut down tomorrow.

Normal trading activities on the major exchanges would hit pause on Thursday, May 28, in observance of Bakri Id. According to exchanges, the 2026 calendar year features a total of 16 scheduled stock market holidays. With eight of those dates already in the rearview mirror, tomorrow's closure for Bakri Id would mark the ninth official market off-day of the year.

Once the exchanges resume normal operations on Friday. The very next stock market holiday is scheduled for Friday, June 26, when both the BSE and NSE would close their doors to observe Muharram.
