Summary:
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) now has over 11 crore unique registered investors, with one crore added in just five months. This growth in investor engagement signals a faster rate of expansion, with the time between each additional crore shrinking from years to six or seven months. Key drivers include improved digital accessibility, greater investor awareness, financial inclusion, and strong market performance, such as positive returns from the Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 in 2024.
The surge in registrations has expanded investor participation across India, with registered investors covering 99.84% of pin codes. Maharashtra leads with 1.8 crore investors, followed by Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, which together account for 36.6% of the total investor base. A younger, more tech-savvy population, increased financial literacy, and government efforts to promote equity investments have all contributed to this growth. The NSE now has over 21 crore client accounts, reflecting the growing public trust in the stock market.
