Summary:

According to a survey from the National Stock Exchange (NSE), one-fifth of Indian households now have access to the stock markets. The market valuation of Indian enterprises has increased sixfold over the last decade. The number of stock market-linked accounts has surpassed 21 crore, including around 18 crore demat accounts. In 2024, India saw a record 2.32 crore new investors, leading to a considerable growth in family wealth of Rs. 40 lakh crore over five years.

Despite market fluctuations, Indian investors remain confident in the stock market. By September 2024, individual investors will hold 17.6% of the Indian market, roughly equal to the share of foreign portfolio investors, who previously held a larger stake. While overseas investors have withdrawn funds, significant domestic inflows have helped maintain market stability. The participation of Indian families in stocks is expected to increase as more investors join and wealth building continues.
