Apart from the listed holidays, the Indian stock market will run as normal on all regular working days. Trading will continue smoothly on weekdays without any break and investors can buy and sell shares during standard market hours as usual.
At the same time, the exchanges will remain closed every Saturday and Sunday, following the standard weekly break followed across the financial markets. These two days are already non-trading days, so no market activity takes place during the weekend.
