What is Muhurat Trading?
Muhurat Trading is a unique tradition observed in the Indian stock market on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights. It involves a special one-hour trading session held during the evening. The word “Muhurat” translates to an auspicious time in Hindu customs, signifying a period with favorable planetary alignments believed to bring good fortune.
Timings of Muhurat Trading
This tradition is exclusive to the Indian stock markets and is not observed elsewhere in the world. The specific timing of the Muhurat Trading session is announced by the stock exchanges each year. It typically falls in the evening hours on the day of Diwali. For example, in 2023, the Muhurat Trading session was held on November 12th, with timings for both NSE and BSE as follows:
