Retail Participation Boom
Rapid rise in demat accounts, especially post-2020.

Technology & Digitization
Digital onboarding (e-KYC, Aadhaar-based authentication).
Blockchain pilots for record-keeping.
Integration with UPI for seamless IPO and investment access.
Regulatory Push
SEBI initiatives like T+0/T+1 settlements increase reliance on depository infrastructure.
Mandatory demat for unlisted public companies and private debt instruments enhances scope.

Depositories benefit directly from new investor accounts and asset custody.
International Interest
GIFT City developments and FPI flows creating demand for global-standard depository services.
