Muhurat trading 2026 on 8 Nov: the tradition and ten years of Nifty data
On Diwali, Sunday 8 November 2026, the NSE and BSE open for Muhurat trading from 14:20 to 15:30 IST. In the tradition, a muhurat is an auspicious time: traders worship their new account books (Chopda Pujan) and place a first token trade to begin Samvat 2083 well.
What the market data shows
In the 6 past Muhurat sessions in our data (years when Diwali fell on a weekday), the Nifty 50 rose in 5, with moves from −0.63% to +0.88%.
| Muhurat session | Nifty 50 |
|---|---|
| 19 Oct 2017 | −0.63% |
| 7 Nov 2018 | +0.65% |
| 4 Nov 2021 | +0.49% |
| 24 Oct 2022 | +0.88% |
| 1 Nov 2024 | +0.41% |
| 21 Oct 2025 | +0.10% |
From one Diwali to the next, the Nifty 50 rose in 8 of 9 Samvat years. For scale, any 12-month stretch in the same data was up 84% of the time, so the market's long rise explains most of that.
How to read it
The tradition is about beginning the year with care and gratitude, and it is respected as that. In this data, the session itself does not decide how the year goes, and ten years is far too few to say more.
