NSE and BSE trading sessions

SessionTime (IST)
Pre-open session9:00 am – 9:15 am
Normal market9:15 am – 3:30 pm

Indian equity markets trade Monday to Friday. The pre-open session (order entry until about 9:08 am) sets the opening price, and continuous trading runs from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm India Standard Time. India doesn’t use daylight saving, so IST is always UTC+5:30; the clock above converts it to your time zone.

Closing auction for F&O stocks: from August 2026, stocks that also trade in the futures and options segment have a closing auction session, reported as 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm, so continuous trading in those stocks ends at 3:15 pm. Other stocks trade until 3:30 pm. Check NSE’s market timings page for the current schedule.

Holidays

NSE and BSE publish a trading holiday list each year, including festivals such as Diwali (when a short special “Muhurat” trading session is usually held). This clock doesn’t include Indian holidays, so check the exchange’s list for a specific date.
