Stock market holiday: Amid the stock market crash due to Trump’s tariffs on India, some Indian stock market observers and investors might feel confused about whether trade activity will occur tomorrow. The primary reason for this confusion is the Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 national celebrations on 27 August 2025. As Ganesh Chaturthi is a state holiday in the State of Maharashtra, the BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE), which are based in the capital of Maharashtra, are expected to celebrate the state holiday. Therefore, some stock investors and Dalal Street observers are confused about whether there will be a stock market holiday on Wednesday or whether trade activity will continue as usual on 27 August 2025.
To avoid confusion, investors and stock market observers are advised to look at the stock market holidays 2025 list on the official BSE website — bseindia.com. On top of the website, one can click on the Trading Holidays toolbar. Find out the list of stock market holidays in 2025.
