Stock market holiday: Amid range-bound bias in the Indian stock market this week, the nation is preparing to celebrate Holi on 14 March 2025, i.e., tomorrow.

To solve this confusion, stock market followers are advised to look at the list of stock market holidays 2025.
According to the list of stock market holidays in March 2025, there will be two stock market holidays — one for Holi 2025 and the second for Id-Ul-Fitr (Ramzan Id).

Trading in the Currency Derivatives Segments will also remain suspended on Friday due to the Holi 2025. However, the commodity market will remain shut in morning sessions but resume trading activities at 5:00 PM.
