Holiday or Trading Day on 1st Feb 2026: Will the Stock Market Really Be Open on Sunday?



Quick Summary
For the first time since the Union Budget date was fixed to February 1st, Indian stock markets (NSE/BSE) will be open on a Sunday, February 1, 2026. This special trading session is being held to accommodate the presentation of the Union Budget. The market will operate with its usual weekday timings, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, and will include Equity, Derivatives, and Currency segments.

Indian Stock Markets (NSE/BSE) will be open on February 1, 2026 The Union Budget is India's most significant annual economic event. Historically, when the Budget date has fallen on a weekend, exchanges have held special trading sessions (as on Saturdays in 2015 and 2020). However, this year marks a historic first: a Budget presentation and consequent trading session will take place on a Sunday, which has never occurred since the Budget date was permanently moved to February 1st in 2017.
