26.9% of investors now come from states beyond the top 10, up from about 22% in FY17, even as the top five states still account for 47.6% of the base.
Women make up about 25% of investors, with participation strongest in Maharashtra at 28.9% and Tamil Nadu at 28.5%, signaling a more geographically dispersed and diverse market.
