As the new year approaches, many investors are eager to embark on their stock market journey or make strategic investments on January 1. A pressing question arises: Will the stock market be open on January 1, 2025?

India is all set to welcome the new year, and for stock market enthusiasts, the trading status on January 1 is critical. As per the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) holiday list for 2025, January 1 (Wednesday) is not listed as a holiday.
This means the stock market will operate as usual on January 1, 2025. Regular trading across the Equity, Equity Derivatives, and Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segments will take place between 9:15 AM and 3:30 PM, according to the BSE website.
January 2025 Market Closures
While the stock market remains open on January 1, it will be closed on 8 days in January—4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays. Traditionally, Indian stock markets do not operate on weekends.
