Key Highlights

The NSE report stated, "The pace of additions moderated during the month, declining 11.6 per cent MoM after two consecutive months of sequential increases." According to the NSE, new investor registrations have shown a downward trend for much of CY2025, except during the May-July and September-October periods.
Global headwinds and market uncertainty have weighed on sentiment, leading to a more cautious approach from potential first-time investors.
The report highlighted the changing pace of investor base expansion over the past two years.
After crossing the 9-crore mark in February 2024, the total number of registered investors increased to 10 crore by August 2024 and further to 11 crore by January 2025, with each additional crore being added within a span of five to six months.
However, this momentum slowed significantly in 2025.
