Stock Market Holiday Today- October 2, 2025: Good morning, readers, and a very Happy Dussehra to you all!
Before you check your trading app or scan the headlines for stock tips, here’s a quick heads-up: the Indian stock market is closed today, Thursday, October 2, 2025, on account of Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti. After all the volatile ups and downs, even Dalal Street needs a day off to celebrate.
Both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are taking a break today, so there will be no trading across equity, derivatives, or currency segments.
If you were planning a high-volatility morning, you’ll have to settle for high-sugar sweets instead. The markets will reopen tomorrow, Friday, October 3, so get your watchlists ready today.
Until then, enjoy the holiday, soak in the celebrations, and maybe revisit your portfolio while munching on some festive treats.
After all, Dussehra is about victories, may your next trade be one, too.

Stock Market On Wednesday
Wednesday, October 1, was a good day, as the Indian stock market came back strongly after an eight-day losing streak. The rally was following a positive economic and inflationary forecast by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the RBI, in its review of its policies, has decided to retain the repo rate at 5.50% and has remained neutral. This marked the second consecutive meeting where rates had not changed at all, and many experts think there is a possibility of a rate cut in December.
Here’s how the markets performed:
- Sensex jumped 716 points (0.89%) to close at 80,983.31
- Nifty 50 rose 225 points (0.92%) to 24,836.30
- BSE Midcap Index was up 0.91%
- BSE Smallcap Index gained 1.16%
