On the eve of Independence Day, the NSE headquarters in Mumbai was illuminated in the vibrant hues of the Tricolor — a glowing symbol of pride, unity, and the spirit of our great nation.

Assam is witnessing one of the fastest rises in investor participation in the country, climbing from 21st position in FY20 to 16th in July 2025 with 26.7 lakh NSE investors. Women make up 29.7% of the state’s investor base — the sixth highest in India — with Goa, Mizoram, Chandigarh, Delhi and Sikkim leading in female investor share, in that order.

Assam’s growing contribution is part of a broader national trend where the share of investors from outside the top 10 states has risen to 26.9%, driven in part by states like Assam, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat remain the top three states in terms of India’s total registered investor base as of July 2025.
