Samvat 2082: Looking at the trend of the last few years, this time also it is expected to see a rise in Nifty 50 and Sensex in the Diwali Muhurat trading session. This special Diwali trading session will run from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm on Tuesday, October 21.

last years performance
This has happened only twice in the last ten years when the indices have closed lower in the Muhurat trading session. For the last seven years, Nifty 50 has closed with a gain of about 0.5% every time.
History shows that average returns on this day have been between 0.4% and 0.9%. Only in 2016 and 2017 did the index decline marginally by 0.1% and 0.6%. That is, most of the times the mood of the market remains positive during these auspicious trading hours.
Expectations from Samvat 2082
Samvat 2081 was a year of consolidation for the Indian stock market. Between November 2024 and September 2025, the broader market gave returns of about 1%. Although the performance has been limited, during this period the market has built a strong foundation, due to which there is a possibility of better growth going forward.
According to Prashant Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities, ‘Indian equity markets are in a position to deliver strong returns in Samvat 2082. The government has made annual income of ₹12 lakh crore tax free in the budget. Also, GST 2.0 reforms may increase consumption. Corporate earnings are also expected to return to double-digit growth, which was missing for the last 2-3 quarters.
He further said that a possible strategic trade deal between India and America can open new avenues of export and increase cooperation between the two countries. All these are positive factors for the market.
signals from technical view
According to Choice Broking, Nifty has been trading in a sideways range for the past few weeks as Diwali 2025 approaches, which is a healthy consolidation phase after a strong rally.
“This pause is actually a healthy break from a larger uptrend and could be a better entry point for long-term investors,” the brokerage firm said. The chart structure is showing that the market is now stabilizing, which is creating a favorable environment for long-term investors.
Market will remain closed on 22 October
Even though the trading volume is low during Muhurat trading, the atmosphere is quite enthusiastic. Investors and institutions make small symbolic trades at this time, which makes the Diwali celebration even more special.
The market will remain closed on the occasion of Balipratipada on the next day of Muhurta trading i.e. 22nd October (Wednesday). The market will resume normal functioning again from Thursday, October 23.
