Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Gujarat has become the third state in India to surpass the milestone of one crore registered stock market investors, following Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. This significant achievement reflects the growing financial awareness and participation among citizens in the western state. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) highlighted this in its latest data, showing that Gujarat, along with Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, now accounts for a substantial 36% of India's total investor base. The development is part of a broader trend of increasing retail participation in equities across India, despite a slowdown in the growth rate of new investor registrations in early 2025.
