Stock Market Today:

Today, April 14, 2025, the Indian stock markets — BSE and NSE — remain closed for Ambedkar Jayanti, a national holiday that honors Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution. The 2025 stock market holiday list marks this as a non-trading day.

Due to the holiday, traders are not engaging in any activity across the equity, equity derivatives, and SLB (Securities Lending and Borrowing) segments. The currency derivatives segment also remains inactive for the entire day.

Because of the holiday, no trading is taking place today in the equity, equity derivatives, and SLB (Securities Lending and Borrowing) segments. The exchange has suspended currency derivative trading for the full day. Regular trading will resume tomorrow, April 15, 2025.

The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), which handles commodities like gold, silver, and crude oil, is open only for evening trading today. Morning trading, which usually runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, is closed. However, the evening session will operate as usual from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

This year, there are 14 official stock market holidays. The next closure will be on April 18, 2025, for Good Friday. After that, markets will remain closed on May 1 for Maharashtra Day.

Other major upcoming holidays include August 15 for Independence Day, October 2 for Gandhi Jayanti, and October 21 and 22 for Diwali celebrations. The final holiday for the year will be on December 25, Christmas Day.

Investors and traders should take note of stock market holidays like Ambedkar Jayanti while planning their trading strategies. Since all major segments including equity, derivatives, and currency markets are shut, no trading activity will take place on April 14, 2025. It’s important to stay updated with the official trading holiday calendar to avoid inconvenience. Normal market operations will begin on April 15, 2025. Commodity markets, however will resume in the evening session. Staying informed about such holidays helps investors manage their positions better and prepare for the next trading day without any last-minute surprises.
