Cities beyond the top 50 account for 57% of new registrations

Spurred by the market rally over the past year and the increasing interest in investments in stocks from smaller cities, the country’s investor count has crossed 50 million, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) said on Monday.

“The unique registered investors on the NSE crossed 50-million count on October 25. While the journey from 30 million registered investors to 40 million took about 15 months, the next 10 million investor registrations took less than seven months. The total number of client codes registered with the exchange stands at 88.6 million (clients could register with more than one trading member),” NSE said in
