Muhurat trading

Muhurat trading is a special auspicious trading session conducted around Diwali on Indian exchanges.

NSE and BSE announce a short muhurat session with its own timings each year.

Equity, derivatives, and some other segments may be available during the window.

Volumes are often symbolic and festive rather than representative of normal liquidity.

Trades in muhurat sessions are real exchange trades subject to normal settlement rules.
