13.2 Lakh New Investors Joined Market in Nov

The Indian stock market saw a slowdown in new investor additions in November, with only 13.2 lakh new investors joining the market. This represents an 11.6% decline from the previous month.

New Investor Additions Slow Down

The total registered investor base now stands at 12.3 crore as of November 2025. After two consecutive months of sequential increases, the moderation in November signals a cooling in investor onboarding momentum.

Market Uncertainty Weighs on Sentiment

Global headwinds and market uncertainty have led to a more cautious approach from potential first-time investors. New investor registrations have shown a downward trend for much of 2025, except during the May-July and September-October periods.

Regional Breakdown of Investor Participation

North India continues to lead with 4.5 crore registered investors, followed by West India with 3.6 crore, South India with 2.6 crore, and East India with 1.5 crore. On a year-on-year basis, investor participation increased across most regions, with all regions recording over 15% growth in November, except West India.

Impact on Market Participation

The slowdown in new investor additions has resulted in an average of 12.8 lakh new investors per month between January and November 2025. This is a sharp slowdown compared to the same period last year, when the average monthly addition stood at 19.3 lakh investors.
