Except for the Muhurat trading day or special trading sessions, when was the last time NSE/BSE market timings changed? Did we have shorter or longer timings before? What about other non-equity market timings?
Here’s a tabular history of NSE/BSE equity market timings for better clarity:
| Time Period | Market Timings (Equity) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Before 1992 | 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM | Trading was conducted on a manual open outcry system. Limited hours due to manual operations. |
| 1992-2001 | 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM | Introduction of electronic trading systems by NSE in 1994 brought efficiency. |
| 2001-2009 | 9:55 AM to 3:30 PM | Trading hours extended slightly for better market accessibility. |
| Since October 19, 2009 | 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM | Opening time advanced to 9:00 AM to align with global markets (e.g., Asian markets). |
