There is an important news for investors and traders in the stock market. Markets will remain closed on January 15, which falls on Thursday. According to a notification issued by NSE (National Stock Exchange), the markets will remain closed on January 15, 2026.
Both BSE and NSE stock markets will remain closed on 15 January 2026. Commodity markets will also remain closed for day trading. However, commodity derivatives trading will remain open in the evening, but there will be no trading in the morning. According to the notification issued by NSE, the decision to close the stock market has been taken due to BMC elections. BMC (Mumbai Municipal Corporation) elections are to be held in Mumbai on 15 January 2026, hence the markets will remain closed on that day.
What did Anil Singhvi say about the closure of the market?
Commenting on this decision, market expert Anil Singhvi said that both NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) have their headquarters in Mumbai. Anil Singhvi further said that all the institutions related to the stock market, including brokers and banks, are also in Mumbai. He said that if the markets had remained open, it would have been difficult for these people to cast their votes. Therefore, the notification issued by the market exchange will provide relief to the people associated with the market. He further said that now that it is a holiday, people should use their right to vote responsibly.
