Please share

CSDL & NSDL websites share this data -

Depositories Number of Investor Accounts as of October 31st, 2020
CSDL 2,70,41,087
NSDL 2,05,85,127
Total 4,76,26,214

But a thing to note is that this data isn’t unique (aka the same investor with Demat accounts with different brokers is counted multiple times)


Nithin shared his estimates about these statistics in a different forum thread a few months back -

A lot of this data can be found via this page on the SEBI website (including the number of FPIs (which includes both FIIs & QFIs) and Indian Mutual Funds). Other than MFs, DIIs also include Banks, DFIs, Insurance companies, and NPS.

For daily volume data about FPIs and DIIs, rudimentary data about Buy/Sell value can be found on the NSE website. More granular data (aka segment wise like Equity, Debt, Derivatives, etc) about volumes generated by FPIs can be accessed on the NSDL website.

Why zerodha doesn’t allow to buy far otm options for hedging as may margin is low I need buy and i need to sell

Hi Harsh, this is due to the member level OI limit. We’ve explained this here.

If you have already taken a Short position you are allowed to take a Long position outside the allowed range to the extent of the quantity you have Shorted to hedge your position.
