New Delhi: The unique investors’ base on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) crossed the 12-crore mark on September 23, with the latest 1 crore addition taking place in just eight months, the bourse said on Thursday.

NSE said one in four investors is a woman.

The exchange surpassed the 11-crore mark in January this year.

“The registered investor base hit the 1 crore mark — 14 years after NSE started operations, the next 1 crore additions took about seven years, the subsequent 1 crore addition took about three-and-half years and and the next one a little over a year,” the exchange said in a statement.

In other words, it took over 25 years for the registered investor base to hit the 4 crore mark in March 2021, with the subsequent 1 crore investors being added in about 6-7 months.
