Eid al-Adha, also known as Eid ul-Zuha or Bakri Eid, is one of the most important festivals in Islam, widely celebrated across India. In 2025, Eid al-Adha is expected to be observed on Saturday, June 7, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.

Amid the festive mood, many investors are wondering if the stock markets will be open or closed on June 6, the day before Bakrid. According to the official holiday calendars published by both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), there is no trading holiday on Friday, June 6, 2025. Both exchanges will function as per normal trading hours.

No Holiday on June 6 for NSE, BSE

While Bakri Eid is a gazetted holiday, it does not coincide with any scheduled market holiday in 2025. Indian stock markets usually remain closed on:

• Saturdays and Sundays, and

• Designated public holidays which are pre-notified at the beginning of the calendar year.

Since June 7, 2025 falls on a Saturday, markets will be closed that day, but not due to Eid al-Adha — rather, it is a regular weekly market closure.

Bank and Government Holiday Variation

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and various state governments have declared June 6 or June 7 as bank holidays, depending on the local sighting of the moon and regional calendars. Many government offices, schools, and private establishments will also remain closed on Saturday, June 7 in observance of Bakri Eid.

However, this variation does not affect stock market operations. Investors should note that stock trading holidays are distinct from general public or bank holidays.

Upcoming Stock Market Holidays in 2025

For better planning, investors can take note of the upcoming trading holidays in 2025:

• August 15 (Friday) – Independence Day

• August 27 (Wednesday) – Ganesh Chaturthi

• October 2 (Thursday) – Gandhi Jayanti

• October 21–22 (Tuesday–Wednesday) – Diwali Festivities

• November 5 (Wednesday) – Prakash Gurpurb

• December 25 (Thursday) – Christmas

It is advisable to refer to the official NSE and BSE holiday calendars regularly for any changes or additions.

Conclusion

To summarise, the Indian stock markets will remain open on June 6, despite the Eid al-Adha celebrations, as the festival falls on a Saturday — which is anyway a non-trading day. Investors should proceed with their usual trading activities on Friday, June 6, without any interruptions from market closures.
