MUMBAI: For the first time in decades, India’s stock exchanges are changing the timing of one of the market’s most symbolic events -- the Diwali Muhurat Trading.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will hold the special trading session in the afternoon today, between 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m., instead of the usual evening slot.
This marks the beginning of the new Hindu financial year, Samvat 2082.
