Are NSE and BSE closed on 2 October 2026?

Janooji

Published 2 October 2026

Janooji in 10 seconds

Yes. NSE and BSE are closed on Friday, 2 October 2026 for Gandhi Jayanti. With the weekend following, the next regular equity session is expected on Monday, 5 October.

Are Indian stock markets open on 2 October 2026?

**No. Friday, 2 October 2026 is a trading holiday for Gandhi Jayanti.** Zerodha’s NSE and BSE holiday calendar lists the closure. Its notice dated 30 September says equity, futures and options, currency and commodity markets will all be closed that day.

When is the next regular equity trading day?

The expected next regular session is **Monday, 5 October 2026**: 2 October is the holiday, followed by Saturday, 3 October and Sunday, 4 October. This date follows the published holiday calendar and the normal weekday schedule; any subsequent special-session notice would take precedence.

What about withdrawing money from Zerodha?

Zerodha’s notice says its instant withdrawal facility remains available. Regular withdrawal requests submitted on 2 October will be processed on **3 October**, with funds due by **9 pm that day**.

That withdrawal timing applies to Zerodha. Other brokers’ processing arrangements should be checked in their own notices.

What should you check before the next session?

Use your broker’s current order and funds status. A closed trading session and a broker’s withdrawal processing schedule are different things. For bank branch availability, see Janooji’s [India bank holidays guide](https://janooji.com/everyday-india/india-bank-holidays).

Verified on **2 October 2026**. This answer concerns the dated Gandhi Jayanti closure.
