Muhurat trading a time to reflect on trust, knowledge and India's growth story: Industry leaders

Industry leaders reflect on trust, knowledge and discipline during Diwali Muhurat trading as markets extend gains for fifth straight session.

"Muhurat Trading is a time to reflect on the values that shape our financial journey, including trust, knowledge, and discipline. - Ashishkumar Chauhan, NSE MD & CEO"

Mumbai, Oct 21

Industry leaders and market experts on Tuesday described this year’s Muhurat trading session as a moment to reflect on trust, knowledge, and discipline -- the core values that shape India’s financial journey.

They emphasised that investing is not just about creating wealth but about actively participating in India’s remarkable economic growth story.

Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director and CEO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), said that Muhurat trading symbolises new beginnings and reinforces the spirit of responsible investing.

“Muhurat Trading is a time to reflect on the values that shape our financial journey, including trust, knowledge, and discipline. Investing is not only about creating wealth but about participating in India’s remarkable economic growth story,” Chauhan said.

He added that as more investors enter the capital markets, building awareness and making informed decisions will be crucial for long-term prosperity.

Chauhan reaffirmed NSE’s commitment to creating a transparent and inclusive market environment that fosters trust and growth for all participants.

During the special Muhurat trading session on Diwali, Indian stock markets edged higher, extending their gains for the fifth consecutive session.

The Sensex ended 62.97 points, or 0.07 per cent higher, at 84,426.34, while the Nifty 50 rose 25.45 points, or 0.10 per cent, to close at 25,868.60.

Vikram Kasat, Head of Advisory at PL Capital, said that the market opened on a positive note, supported by firm global cues.

“Asian markets traded higher, and a strong overnight rally on Wall Street lifted investor sentiment. Selective buying was seen in banking, IT, and auto counters, though profit-booking in metals and FMCG capped gains,” Kasat noted.

He added that broader market participation remained healthy, signalling a balanced undertone for the start of the new trading year.

Echoing a similar sentiment, Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Research at Ventura Securities, said Muhurat Trading 2025 reflected cautious optimism compared to the subdued tone seen last year.

“Broader participation improved, supported by festive consumption and firm domestic flows. The Nifty index is currently trading slightly above its long-term average, suggesting limited downside,” he said.

Started my investment journey during last Diwali's Muhurat trading. The emphasis on knowledge and discipline is so important - many new investors jump in without proper research. Good to see leaders focusing on awareness.

While the sentiment is positive, I hope the focus on transparency translates to better investor protection. Many retail investors still face challenges with market manipulation. The commitment needs to be backed by stronger action.

The cautious optimism mentioned by Bolinjkar makes sense. Markets are at decent levels, but with global uncertainties, it's wise to be careful. Good to see broader participation though - shows retail confidence is growing!

Traditional Muhurat trading combined with modern market analysis - this is the perfect blend of our heritage and progress. The gains might be small but the symbolic value is huge for Indian investors. Shubh Labh! 🙏

As someone new to Indian markets, I find the cultural aspect fascinating. The emphasis on values and long-term thinking rather than quick profits is refreshing. More markets could learn from this approach.
