The BSE and NSE remained closed for trading on Good Friday. Along with, trading in derivatives, equities, SLBs, and currency derivatives, as well as the interest rate derivatives segment and the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the nation's largest commodity market, will also remain shut on Friday. This marks the end of a holiday-shortened week, with only three days of trading due to the closure of equity markets on Monday (March 25) for Holi festivities.

In the previous trading session on Thursday, the stock market concluded the final day of trading for the 2023-24 fiscal year on a positive note. Favorable global cues led to significant buying activity in power, auto, and banking stocks, propelling domestic indices upward. The S&P BSE Sensex surged to a peak of 74,190 points, eventually closing at 73,651, marking a gain of 655 points. Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 reached a high of 22,516 points before settling at 22,327, reflecting an increase of 203 points.
