PTC Web Desk: India’s stock markets are observing a special one-hour Muhurat Trading session today to mark the start of Samvat 2082. This year, for the first time since 1957, the session is scheduled in the afternoon, from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm, instead of the traditional evening slot.
Significance of Muhurat Trading
Muhurat Trading derives from the Sanskrit term Muhurat, meaning an auspicious time. On Diwali day, stock exchanges open for a symbolic one-hour session to allow investors to make token trades, aiming to usher in prosperity and good fortune for the financial year ahead. While the session follows standard trading and settlement rules, its purpose is largely ceremonial rather than strategic.
Many investors use this occasion to place small trades in well-established companies, particularly blue-chip stocks, as a mark of tradition and optimism for long-term growth.
Investors and market watchers are closely tracking Sensex and Nifty 50 movements during this special session to gauge market sentiment at the start of the financial new year. The afternoon timing in 2025 adds a new dimension to this long-standing Diwali tradition, blending cultural significance with market participation.
Muhurat Trading continues to be a unique intersection of finance, tradition, and investor optimism, reflecting India’s blend of culture and commerce.
