Mumbai, June 8 -- The National Stock Exchange (NSE) said the number of unique trading accounts, or client codes (UCCs), has crossed the 26 crore mark in June 2026, highlighting continued growth in retail participation in India's capital markets.

According to the exchange, the latest one crore accounts were added in less than four months. More than 4.3 crore investor accounts, accounting for nearly 17% of the total, were added over the past year.

The number of unique registered investors at NSE stood at over 13.1 crore as of 31 May 2026, after crossing the 13 crore milestone in April 2026. NSE noted that the number of trading accounts exceeds the number of investors because an individual can maintain accounts with multiple brokers.
