India recorded more than 2.5 million new demat accounts in June, the highest monthly total since February. The increase coincided with gains in the Nifty 50 and Sensex indices.
The rise in accounts came amid improved market sentiment after geopolitical tensions eased and several companies signaled upcoming IPOs. Retail investors responded to broader market participation and easier digital onboarding processes.
Market observers noted that continued growth in demat accounts will hinge on sustained performance by Indian equities and renewed investor confidence. Officials from depositories such as NSDL and CDSL tracked the monthly figures.
The June data reflects renewed interest from individual investors following the market rebound on D-Street.
