About PSX Trading Hours
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is one of the world's leading stock exchanges, located in Pakistan. Understanding PSX trading hours is essential for international investors who trade from different time zones.
PSX operates Monday through Friday, opening at 09:15 and closing at 15:30 local time (Asia/Karachi).
For investors in Mumbai, this means the PSX market opens at approximately 14:45 India Standard Time and closes around 21:00 India Standard Time.
The regular trading session is the most important period, but pre-market and after-hours sessions also provide opportunities for traders who need to react to news outside regular hours.
Why PSX Hours Differ in Mumbai

Additionally, Pakistan's observance of Daylight Saving Time (DST) can shift trading hours by one hour during certain months of the year. Mumbai may or may not observe DST, creating a variable time difference throughout the year.
