Is the stock market open today, November 10?
No. The NSE and BSE are closed today for Diwali-Balipratipada, and regular trading restarts on Wednesday, November 11.
The BSE and NSE will not conduct trading across equity, equity derivatives and securities lending and borrowing segments on Tuesday, and trading will resume on Wednesday, November 11 (Moneycontrol).
ET Now adds that currency derivatives and electronic gold receipts (EGR) are also shut (ET Now).
So you cannot buy or sell shares, futures or options today. Any order you place in your broker app will wait for the next session.
The break comes right after two busy sessions. Sunday's special Muhurat session on November 8 marked the start of Samvat 2083, and Monday was a regular trading day.
For the full month's calendar, see our earlier guide to stock market holidays in November 2026.
Which banks are closed today, and is tomorrow a holiday too?
Bank branches are closed today in 7 cities: Ahmedabad, Belapur, Bengaluru, Dehradun, Gangtok, Mumbai and Nagpur. Tomorrow, a different set of 6 cities takes its holiday.
Bank customers in seven cities will not be able to use physical branches today, as several cities observe a regional holiday under the RBI's November 2026 calendar (Mint).
Today's closure covers Diwali (Bali Pratipada), Govardhan Puja, Laxmi Puja and the Vikram Samvat New Year Day. Each region marks a different festival, which is why the list changes city by city.
On Wednesday, November 11, branches close in Gangtok, Imphal, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla for Laxmi Puja, Ningol Chakkouba, Bhai Dooj and Chitragupt Jayanti.

What most guides miss: Gangtok is the only city on both lists, so it is the one place where branches stay shut two days in a row. Kanpur and Lucknow work the other way: open today, closed tomorrow.
If you live in a city not on either list, your branch should be open as usual. Still, call ahead or check your bank's website before you go.
What still works during the Diwali holiday?
Digital banking keeps running: UPI, internet banking, mobile banking and ATMs stay available even where branches are shut.
Mint notes that customers can still use these channels for fund transfers, bill payments and balance enquiries, but not for in-person work like certain cheque transactions, cash services or document submissions (Mint).
Commodity traders get a half day. MCX stays shut for the morning session (9 am to 5 pm) and reopens for the evening session from 5 pm to 11:30 pm (ET Now).
NCDEX, the agri-commodity exchange, is closed for both sessions today.
US markets are not on an Indian holiday, so they open at their usual time, around 8 pm India time.
What happens to fund withdrawals and mutual fund orders?
Expect a one-day delay: most payouts and orders that would have been processed today move to Wednesday, November 11.
Broker Upstox told clients that Standard Fund Withdrawal requests placed after 8 AM on 9 Nov will be processed on 11 Nov, and that Mutual Fund sell orders placed on 10 Nov will also be processed on 11 Nov (Upstox).
Upstox also said its Instant Fund Withdrawal facility will not be available today, and the credit bill of 9 Nov will not be available on 10 Nov.
These are one broker's rules, but other brokers follow the same exchange and bank holiday calendar. If you sold shares or fund units on Monday and need the cash urgently, plan for it to land later than usual.
A simple fix: if you need money this week, start any withdrawal today so it sits first in the queue for Wednesday.
How did the market close before the Diwali break?
Markets ended Monday slightly higher, with Sensex at 81,106.65 and Nifty at 25,044.65, after recovering from sharp intraday losses.
The Sensex gained 107.25 points, or 0.13 percent, while the Nifty rose 58.25 points, or 0.23 percent, supported by a rally in banking stocks (Moneycontrol).
PSU banks led the gains, surging 3.65 percent, while IT stocks fell 1.22 percent. SBI was the top Nifty50 gainer, closing 2.56 per cent higher, as per ET Now.
Sunday's Muhurat session was rougher. Moneycontrol notes it was the first time in nine years that the benchmarks closed lower in the special Diwali session; the last time was 2017, when the Sensex fell 0.6 percent.
That dip followed a strong week. The Sensex surged 6,569 points and the Nifty climbed nearly 9 percent, adding nearly ₹29 lakh crore to the market value of BSE-listed companies and taking it above ₹500 lakh crore.

When are the next stock market holidays in 2026?
Only two equity market holidays are left this year after today: Tuesday, November 24, and Friday, December 25.
According to ET Now, November 24 is for Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev and December 25 is for Christmas (ET Now).
MCX treats them differently. On November 24 its morning session is closed but the evening session is open, while December 25 is a full-day closure.
If you trade around these dates, check your broker's notice a few days before each one, as Upstox did for today's closure.
