On the occasion of Laxmi Pujan in the Diwali season, investors in India consider it auspicious to purchase equity. Stock exchanges in India facilitate this belief by organising a 1-hour Mahurat trading session on the day of Laxmi Pujan and the session coincides with the beginning of the Hindu calendar year or Vikram Samvat.
Mahurat Trading 2019
This year, stock exchanges NSE and BSE will be open for Mahurat Trading on Sunday, 27 October.
- Pre-opening session: 6:00 pm to 6:08 pm
- Trading session: 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm
All trades executed in this Diwali Mahurat trading session shall result in settlement obligations.
Ahead of the session, several brokerages have made recommendations based on their research that are likely to give investors good returns on their purchases made on the auspicious day over a period of 6 months to 1 year.
