Ganesh Chaturthi is falling on Monday, September 14 and investors are wondering whether the festival will affect trading in the stock and commodity markets.NSE and BSE follow their own trading holiday calendars, which are separate from holidays observed by banks and government offices. According to the 2026 exchange calendar, both NSE and BSE will remain closed for trading on September 14 on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. Investors will therefore not be able to buy or sell shares on either exchange during the regular trading session on Monday. Equity derivatives trading will also remain closed.The commodity market, however, follows a different schedule. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will remain closed for its morning session from 9 am to 5 pm, but will reopen for trading in the evening session from 5 pm.

The exchange calendar also includes other festivals and national holidays on which trading will remain closed.
