The Indian stock market will be closed on April 14, 2026, for Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti, with trading set to resume on April 15. This holiday marks the last trading break for April, with the next holiday on May 1 for Maharashtra Day. On April 13, the market saw declines, with the Nifty 50 falling nearly 1% to 23,842 and the S&P BSE Sensex closing at 76,788, also down 1%. Analysts attribute this downturn to rising crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions following the unsuccessful US-Iran peace talks, which have raised concerns over market volatility. Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, stated that market volatility is expected to persist until there is significant progress in the West Asia conflict and warned of potential pressures on foreign fund flows due to a weakening rupee. In total, about 10 more market holidays are scheduled for 2026, with two in May and one in June.
