In India, US stocks open at 7pm and close at 1:30am IST, after midnight. That holds until Fri 30 October 2026.
From Mon 2 November 2026: 8pm to 2:30am IST (next day), because the clocks change.
US market kab khulta hai? Abhi raat 7pm IST par khulta hai aur 1:30am IST par band hota hai; 2 November se raat 8pm se 2:30am tak.
The New York Stock Exchange's regular session, 09:30–16:00 New York time, runs 7pm to 1:30am IST in India until 30 October 2026, according to TradingLookup's Market Clock (October 2026).
US market time in India by date
| Dates | Opens | Closes |
|---|---|---|
| 16 October 2026 to 30 October 2026 | 7pm | 1:30am |
| 2 November 2026 to 12 March 2027 | 8pm | 2:30am |
| 15 March 2027 to 5 November 2027 | 7pm | 1:30am |
| 8 November 2027 to 19 November 2027 | 8pm | 2:30am |
Daylight saving: why the US time moves in India
- New York's clocks go back an hour on Sunday 1 November 2026.
- New York's clocks go forward an hour on Sunday 14 March 2027.
- India doesn't change its clocks, so only New York's change moves the times: the US session starts an hour later in IST from Monday 2 November 2026.
The NSE and the US session, side by side
| Dates | Days | NSE | US session | Overlap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 October to 30 October 2026 | Monday to Friday | 09:15–15:30 | 19:00–01:30 (next day) | None: 3 hours 30 minutes between the NSE close and the US open |
| 2 November to 12 March 2027 | Monday to Friday | 09:15–15:30 | 20:00–02:30 (next day) | None: 4 hours 30 minutes between the NSE close and the US open |
The two never overlap: the NSE has closed 3 hours 30 minutes before the US opens, and 4 hours 30 minutes before from Monday 2 November 2026.
