Every year on Diwali, Indian stock markets hold a special one-hour Muhurat trading session to commemorate the start of the Hindu calendar year. M&M, ITC, Bajaj Auto, L&T, Kotak Bank, Sun Pharma, and Nestle India were among the Sensex’s top gainers.

On Friday, the equity, currency, and debt markets were closed for the Diwali Balipratipada holiday.
The SGX Nifty indicates that the Indian financial markets are off to a good start on Monday. The Singapore Nifty (SGX Nifty) is an Indian Nifty that is traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange and is considered to be a good indicator of when the Indian markets will open.
