“The eight crore unique PAN investors correspond approximately to around 5 crore unique households in India amounting to around 17 per cent households directly investing in the Indian stock market via the NSE’s extensive nationwide network of trading members,” it said.
Total number of unique client code accounts registered with the exchange was at 14.9 crore — clients could register with more than one trading member and included all registrations done to date.
In terms of regions, states from northern part of India accounted for 43 per cent towards the last 1 crore new investor registrations, followed by west (27 per cent) , south (17 per cent) and east (13 per cent).
The top cities include Delhi (including NCR) contributing to 7 per cent, followed by Mumbai (including Thane/Raigad) with 4.6 per cent, and Pune with 1.7 per cent.
The exchange said the growth in the number of participants can be attributed to the momentum observed in capital markets.
