There is a special trading session on March 2 but market participants should not be too concerned. In March, there are a total of three days when exchanges will be closed as a result there are three long weekends in March too so time to plan your short trips as well.
According to BSE and NSE’s holiday calendar, the first holiday falls on March 8 on account of Mahashivratri. It being a Friday, traders can actually take advantage of an extended weekend.
The next two holidays are in the last week of March. Holi- the festival of colour is on Monday, March 25 making it another three-day long weekend for market participants.
The last holiday of the month is on account of Good Friday, which is on March 29. That again being a Friday, makes it an extended weekend for some time off at the end of the financial year.
