Stock market holiday: The Indian stock market experienced a strong pullback during Friday's session. Dalal Street investors keep their fingers crossed whether the uptrend will continue next week as the Nifty 50 index has closed above 22,800. Despite a truncated week, this rise could become possible after the unexpected shift in Trump's tariff policy. However, next week will also be truncated as two stock market holidays will fall next week.
According to the stock market holidays 2025 list on the BSE and NSE websites, no trading activity will occur at the BSE and the NSE on Monday and Friday. On Monday, Dalal Street will observe a stock market holiday for Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti. Similarly, the Indian stock market will remain closed on Friday next week for Good Friday.
For more clarity, people are advised to go to the BSE website — bseindia.com and click on the 'Trading Holidays' option on the top. After clicking the 'Trading Holidays' option, the stock market holidays 2025 list is opened. In this list of tradet holidays, there are three stock market holidays in April 2025.

This means the Indian stock market will remain closed on these two days next week — Monday, 14 April 2025, and Friday, 18 April 2025.
