Number of unique investors in securities market ecosystem hits 134 million
07-Oct-25   13:26 Hrs IST
The rise of Indian investor has been celebrated over the last few years, stated Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman, SEBI in a speech at World Investor Week 2025 at NSE. Increased access, simplified on-boarding, and wider awareness has led to the number of unique investors in the securities market ecosystem increasing to 134 million. He highlighted a survey revealing an impressive 63% of Indian households (translating to 213 million households) are aware of at least one securities market product. The survey shows that actual participation stands at 9.5% of households (translating to about 32 million households). While this number is significant, it highlights the vast potential for growth. He noted that the most telling statistic is this - only 36% of investors possess high or moderate knowledge of the securities market. This knowledge gap is a vulnerability that exposes our investors to risks and makes them susceptible to fraud.
