Uttar Pradesh accounted for the highest share of new additions in May 2025 at 14%, followed by Maharashtra (12%), Tamil Nadu and West Bengal (7% each), and Bihar (6%). Together, these five states contributed 46% of the month's total new registrations. However, the new registration during the month was notably lower than the 17.6 lakh additions recorded in May 2024. During the first two months of FY26, the average monthly investor registrations stood at 10.6 lakh investors — 39% lower than the FY25 monthly average of 17.4 lakh," the report said. It added that all states experienced a decline in their monthly run-rate when comparing the average for FY26TD (as of May 2025) against the full-year average of FY25. "Gujarat recorded the sharpest fall at 63% (from an average of ~1.4 lakh in FY25 to ~52,600 in FY26TD), followed by Rajasthan at 50%. Even the top two states by total investor base saw a notable drop — Maharashtra's monthly average new registrations fell 44% (1.2 lakh in FY26TD vs 2.2 lakh in FY25), while Uttar Pradesh recorded a decline of 39% (1.5 lakh in FY26TD vs 2.5 lakh in FY25)," the report said.
