Ahmedabad: Four districts from Gujarat ranked among India’s top 10 contributors to new equity investor registrations in Sept 2026, according to a National Stock Exchange report, underlining the state’s widening footprint beyond its biggest cities. Ahmedabad, Surat, Bhavnagar and Rajkot all featured in the top tier of districts adding fresh market participants during the month.
Ahmedabad-based stock broker and merchant banker Vanesh Panchal said the pipeline of attractive initial public offerings expected around Oct helped lift retail interest earlier, boosting account openings in the preceding months. “Because IPOs in Oct looked very attractive, Gujarat districts saw a sharp jump in new investor registrations in Aug and Sept, and in Aug, ten districts from Gujarat were among the national top 10,” he said.

The NSE data showed the top 50 districts accounted for 37.8% of new registrations, while the remaining districts and locations contributed 62.2%, indicating that investor additions are increasingly dispersed across smaller cities and non-metro centres even as major hubs retain dominance.
