From the onset of April, both the flagship Sensex and Nifty indices have surged by approximately 10% each, while broader indices such as BSE MidCap and BSE SmallCap have recorded substantial gains of over 35% and 39%, respectively.
The notable upsurge in the Indian markets has coincided with a marked increase in new demat accounts. In October alone, approximately 26.8 lakh new demat accounts were initiated across CDSL and NSDL, propelling the total count to a record high of 13.24 crore.
