NPS Subscriber Growth and New Risk Assessment Platform Aim to Boost Pension Adoption
The National Pension System (NPS) in India is seeing increased adoption, with new subscriber additions expected to reach 21 lakh this fiscal year, up from 14 lakh in 2025, according to HDFC Pension CEO Sriram Iyer. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced the Multiple Scheme Framework (MSF) and plans to launch a suitability platform to assess subscribers' risk appetite, aiming to help individuals make informed pension choices. Despite growth, pension coverage remains low at around 17-18 percent.
