According to the BSE trading holiday list, markets were closed for all Equity Segment, Equity Derivative Segment, and SLB Segment.

Domestic Markets Rebound
Domestic stock markets yesterday showed some bounce back after consistent selling pressure at the beginning of this week.
Market experts noted that the Indian indices bounced back because of the oversold conditions in the market. However, foreign investors are still net sellers. On Tuesday, the foreign investors sold stocks worth Rs 3,411.73 crores, while domestic investors (DIIs) bought equities worth Rs 2,783.89 crores.
Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert stated "The causes of the downtrend in Indian stocks are still very much present...FPI selling (though at a reducing intensity), downgrades to corporate earnings, slower economic growth and high real interest rates which are proving a drag on growth impulses.

Markets Close In Green
The bounce in the Indian markets needs to be seen as a bounce from oversold zones. Maybe foreign selling is abating, we will know that in a few days' time. We are going up in consonance with Asian markets".
Indian stock indices returned to the green zone on Tuesday after having traded lower for the past seven consecutive sessions.
Sensex closed at 77,578.38 points, up 239.38 points or 0.31 per cent, while Nifty closed at 23,518.50 points, up 64.70 points or 0.28 per cent.
Nifty Auto, Media, Realty, and Consumer Durables were the top movers in the sectoral space, while Metal, PSU Bank, and Oil and Gas were the losers, NSE data showed.
