To successfully trade and invest in the business sectors, it is crucial to have the right information about trading exchange timings in India. All around the country, the stock market timings are similar, and based on them you can purchase, sell, or put resources into shares from any part of the country.
The normal market exchange hours are 09:15 AM to 03:30 PM. There’s a pre-opening meeting before 09:15 AM and a post-shutting meeting after 03:30 PM.
Pre-opening meeting
The pre-opening meeting begins at 09:00 AM, carrying on till 09:15 AM. This meeting is usually segregated into three segments, which are as follows:
Slot 1: From 09:00 AM to 09:08 AM
During these 8 minutes, you can request to trade various offers in the financial exchange. You can alter or drop any requests that you might have made. At the point when the typical exchange meeting starts at 09:15 AM, the orders put during this part of the pre-opening meeting get inclined in the line of requests.
Slot 2: From 09:08 AM to 09:12 AM
During these 4 minutes, you can’t put in any new requests, alter existing ones, or drop any request. This segment is important for value matching which includes contrasting interest and supply. It decides the last costs at which various offers will be exchanged when the market opens at 09:15 AM.
Slot 3: From 09:12 AM to 09:15 AM
This 3-minute window is an association area between the pre-opening meeting and the ordinary exchanging hours. It acts as a cushion to slide the progress into the normal exchange meeting. Once more, during these 3 minutes, you can’t submit, adjust, or drop any requests.
Typical meeting
This is otherwise called the consistent exchange meeting, and it runs from 09:15 AM to 03:30 PM. During this meeting, you can exchange unreservedly, place requests to trade stocks, and change or drop your trade orders with next to no impediments. During this window, a reciprocal request matching framework is followed. This implies that each sell request is coordinated with a purchase request that has been set at a similar stock cost, and each purchase request is coordinated with a sell request that has been set at a similar stock cost.
Post-closing meeting
This meeting starts when the normal exchange meeting comes to a close at 03:30 PM. The post-closing meeting goes up till 04:00 PM, comprising two segments.
Slot 1: From 03:30 PM to 03:40 PM
In these 10 minutes, the end costs of stocks are determined by taking the weighted normal of the stock costs exchanged between 03:00 PM and 03:30 PM. The end costs of records like Sensex and Nifty are determined by considering the weighted normal costs of the multitude of protections recorded in that list.
Slot 2: From 03:40 PM to 04:00 PM
In this 20-minute period, you can in any case put in trade requests. Yet, the orders are affirmed provided there are adequate quantities of purchasers and dealers on the lookout.
Muhurat trading
In India, the financial exchange normally stays shut on open and public occasions. In any case, on Diwali every year, the financial exchange is open for one hour for a Muhurat exchanging meeting; this is set up since Diwali is viewed as a favourable day. The time and the date for this meeting change every year.
