Indian Stockbrokers See Slower Revenue Growth Amid Rising Client Numbers in September
Indian stockbrokers faced slower revenue growth in the July-September quarter due to reduced trading volumes in derivatives and cash markets, influenced by foreign investor selling, global uncertainty, and elevated oil prices. Despite this, the combined active client base on the NSE rose by about 1.6 lakh to 4.61 crore in September. Groww expanded its lead with 1.01 lakh new users, while Angel One narrowed its gap with Zerodha amid a decline in Zerodha's active clients. Market conditions remain challenging for brokers balancing client growth and trading activity.
