Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, tomorrow is a stock market holiday, because NSE and BSE will remain closed on Tuesday 20 Oct 2026 on account of Dussehra. The equity, equity derivatives, currency and clearing segments are shut, and the morning session of MCX is closed while its evening session runs from 5 PM. Trades made on Monday 19 Oct will settle on Wednesday 21 Oct, and normal trading resumes on 21 Oct. This is the second stock market holiday of the month after Gandhi Jayanti on Friday 2 Oct, and the next ones fall in November and December.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A stock market holiday in the middle of a week changes more than the trading calendar. It moves the settlement date for Monday’s trades, shifts the weekly Nifty expiry, and leaves positions open for an extra day while global markets keep trading. Monday itself was also a weak session, with the Sensex and Nifty down about 1.2% at 3:24 PM IST.<\/p>\n

This guide covers what is open and closed on 20 Oct, the settlement and expiry changes, the upcoming stock market holiday dates through December, and a short checklist for traders and investors. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any share.<\/p>\n
