MUMBAI (Reuters) – The Indian stock market will have a full trading session on Saturday, Jan. 20, a spokesperson for the National Stock Exchange told Reuters.
Trading across equities, debt and money markets is closed on Monday due to a public holiday in Maharashtra state.
The central government had declared a half-day closing until 2:30 p.m. IST on Monday on the occasion of the inauguration for the Ram Temple.
The stock market was earlier set to trade in two special sessions on Saturday as the exchanges looked to test out a failsafe system for trading.
The blue-chip Nifty 50 index settled 0.75% higher at 21,622.40 on Friday, while the S&P BSE Sensex closed 0.70% higher at 71,683.23.
