Indian Savers Show Growing Interest in Long-Term Pension Investments and NPS
India's Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran emphasizes the need for Indians to shift from short-term trading to long-term pension savings for financial security in old age. Despite growth in systematic investment plans, pension assets remain a small share of household savings, with total pension assets at about 17% of GDP compared to 80% in OECD countries. Meanwhile, HDFC's 2026 NPS Preference Index shows rising Indian interest in the National Pension Scheme, with increased consideration, familiarity, and appeal across regions, signaling gradual progress in retirement planning awareness.
