NSE and BSE Schedule Muhurat Trading for Samvat 2083

The National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange will conduct a special Muhurat Trading session on Sunday, November 8, 2026, to mark the beginning of Samvat 2083 and Diwali Laxmi Pujan. The session includes a block deal window from 1:50 PM to 2:05 PM, a pre-open session from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM, and continuous equity trading from 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM. Trading will be available across equity, currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, and equity futures and options, with the National Stock Exchange clarifying that all transactions carry standard settlement obligations.

While the tradition is viewed as an auspicious time for symbolic investments to bring prosperity, Uday Kotak, Founder and Non-Executive Director of Kotak Mahindra Bank, advised investors to focus on quality companies and fundamentals. Kotak identified five critical factors for the coming year: India's relative market valuations, the global AI boom, crude oil prices, interest rates, and risk management. He expects the overnight repo rate to increase by 50 to 75 basis points and suggested that a potential correction in global AI trades could drive capital back to India.
