Stock market closure for a local municipal election reflects poor planning: Zerodha's Nithin Kamath

The Indian stock exchanges- the BSE and the NSE- are closed today, i. e. Thursday, January 15, due to a public holiday in Maharashtra for local body elections. While holidays are a routine administrative decision, fairly on expected lines, Zerodha's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nithin Kamath, believes the stock market holiday for the local municipal election shows poor planning.

Key Highlights

  • Kamath wrote on social media that even as Indian stock exchanges have international linkages, their closure for a local municipal election reflects poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects, or the indirect, follow-on consequences.
  • "Indian stock exchanges are closed today for Mumbai's municipal elections.
  • The fact that our exchanges, which have international linkages, are shut down for a local municipal election shows poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects," Kamath wrote on X.
  • "The holiday exists because no one who matters has any incentive to oppose the market holiday.
  • It also tells you how far we have to go before global investors take us seriously," Kamath added.
