SEBI Study Revises Up India's Household Savings Ratio via Securities Markets for FY25

A Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) study reveals that India's household savings through securities markets are significantly higher than previously estimated due to a revised methodology. The updated approach includes investments in equities, debt, REITs, InvITs, and alternative funds, raising the gross savings-to-GDP ratio to 34.94% for FY25. The study highlights a faster shift from physical assets to financial instruments, suggesting prior official data underestimated retail investing growth.
