Indian equity markets will remain open on Sunday, February 1, in view of the Union Budget presentation. The decision marks a departure from the usual weekend closure to facilitate real-time market response to key policy announcements.
According to a circular issued by the National Stock Exchange (NSE), trading will be conducted as per normal schedule from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. The special trading session will cover equity, derivatives, and currency segments.
Market participants are expected to closely track Budget proposals, with heightened volatility anticipated during the session as investors react to fiscal and policy cues.
