Introduction \u2014 Muhurat Trading timing\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Muhurat Trading is the stock market\u2019s festive tradition \u2014 a symbolic trading session held every Diwali to mark the start of the Hindu financial year. This year the Muhurat Trading timing<\/strong> has changed: instead of the traditional evening slot, the session will be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2025<\/strong>, from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM (IST)<\/strong>. This is the first time in decades the session is being held in the afternoon<\/strong>, and the shift alters how traders should plan for the day.<\/p>\n

What is Muhurat Trading and why the timing matters<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Muhurat Trading is a one-hour special session run by the exchanges where participants place small, symbolic trades as a ritual of auspicious beginnings and prosperity. Historically, markets have displayed positive sentiment during Muhurat Trading \u2014 but the newly announced Muhurat Trading timing (afternoon, 1:45\u20132:45 PM) means traders must adapt their schedules and strategies this year.<\/p>\n

Historical performance \u2014 what Muhurat Trading has typically signalled<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Muhurat sessions often reflect positive investor sentiment, though they are short and symbolic. Historically many Muhurat sessions have closed in green, but this is not guaranteed. Treat any immediate gains as symbolic rather than a guarantee of long-term performance.<\/p>\n
