This surge is reflected in the drastic rise from just 1.5 crores in 2013 to 6 crores by 2022, demonstrating a rapid doubling of investors within a mere two years. Alongside this trend, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have begun to rival foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in equity ownership, with DIIs holding 16.2% compared to the 17.4% share of FIIs, which is the lowest in over a decade. The growth in retail investment ownership is also notable, as retail investors now account for 7.6% of Indian equities, showcasing a significant shift in market dynamics since the pandemic.
