stock market diwali muhurat trading As the new Hindu financial year, Samvat 2082, begins, both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) have announced that the annual Muhurat trading session will be held in the afternoon this year — a first in the history of Indian stock markets.
Traditionally, Muhurat trading takes place in the evening, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune for investors. However, this year’s schedule shift to the afternoon has been made to accommodate certain operational and festive considerations. Market participants are expected to take this as an auspicious opportunity to make fresh investments and portfolio adjustments as per customary beliefs.
The trading window will open for a special one-hour session, allowing investors to perform “Lakshmi Puja” and initiate new trades marking the start of Samvat 2082. Market experts anticipate positive sentiment across equities, especially in sectors like banking, FMCG, and infrastructure.
Brokers have also reported increased inquiries and enthusiasm among retail investors ahead of the special session, viewing it as a promising start to the financial year.
