Muhurat trading is a special trading session that happens every year during Diwali. It’s like a good luck boost for the stock market! Investors hope that the market will do well because Diwali is a happy and exciting time.

Historically, Indian stock markets have often gone up during this special trading hour. Experts believe this is because people feel lucky and optimistic during Diwali. It’s like a tradition that encourages positive market movement.

This year, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will hold a special session on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. The trading will happen from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM. It’s the start of a new Hindu calendar year called Samvat 2082.

Over the last few years, when muhurat trading took place, the market indices (like Sensex and Nifty) went up. For example, in 2020, the Sensex went up by 195 points, and in 2021, it rose by 296 points.

What causes these positive trends? Experts say it’s mostly about the feeling of good luck that people have during Diwali. The underlying reasons for the market’s health – like whether the economy is doing well – don’t really matter during muhurat trading.

This year, analysts are looking at things like a good monsoon season, lower inflation, and changes made by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These things are expected to help boost the economy and make people feel more confident about investing.

One idea is to look at the large-cap IT (Information Technology) companies, which may be cheaper than usual. Some specific companies that analysts recommend are State Bank of India, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever (HUL), Maruti Suzuki, Axis Bank, UltraTech Cement, Tata Consumer Products, Hero Motocorp, Suzlon Energy, Brigade Enterprises Real Estate, Can Fin Homes, and H.G. Infra Engineering.

If you’re looking to invest, analysts suggest focusing on companies in the consumer goods, automotive, and auto-parts industries – especially those that are financially strong and have good prices.

“The success of muhurat trading relies on faith and sentiment, not just market fundamentals.”
