The Muhurat trading marks the start of the new Hindu calendar year, Vikram Samvat 2082. Investors traditionally consider the session auspicious, believing that transactions made during this time bring prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Market analysts note that families and traders often participate to mark the symbolic beginning of new investments, rather than to seek immediate gains.

Segments Open For Trading

According to the circulars, trading will be available across all major segments, including equities, equity futures and options, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives and securities lending and borrowing (SLB).
