Economy Business
In July 2025, Gujarat became the third Indian state to surpass the 1 crore registered stock market investors milestone, as per data released by the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This achievement follows Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, highlighting Gujarat’s growing participation in India’s equity market landscape.
- The NSE (National Stock Exchange) data revealed that as of May 2025, India had approximately 11.5 crore registered investors, with over 11 lakh new additions in May alone. This marked a strong 9% Month-on-Month (MoM) investor growth, underlining India’s retail investment momentum.
- In regional terms, North India led with 4.2 crore investors, followed by West India (3.5 crore), South India (2.4 crore), and East India (1.4 crore). Gujarat’s inclusion in the 1 crore investor club significantly boosted West India’s contribution to the national investor base.
- Among the four regions, North India and East India registered the highest YoY investor growth compared to 2024, with a surge of 24% and 23%, respectively. South India followed with 22%, and West India showed 17% growth in the same period.
Main Point :- (i) The cumulative contribution of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat now accounts for 36% of India’s total stock investor base, demonstrating the financial maturity and digital penetration in these states.
(ii) NSE’s data also indicated a sustained long-term trend. India breached the 9 crore investor mark in August 2024 and added another 2.5 crore investors in just 10 months, driven by increased digital onboarding and investment awareness initiatives.
(iii) Gujarat saw consistent growth from February to May 2025, averaging 10.8 lakh new investors per month, compared to the national average of 19.3 lakh. This reflects the rapid financial inclusion and stock market literacy growth in the state.
