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 per cent 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 per cent, 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.
