Who are the largest brokerage firms in India?

Exchanges don’t put out trading volumes of brokers, so it is not possible to put that list unless they decide to share. Exchanges have this one public report though where they display active number of clients each broker has. Active is essentially every client who has traded atleast once in last one year. As on June 30th,2017 this is the list of brokerages with unique clients .

Total across brokerages is 64,00,000 Indians (these are non-unique, if I have an active account in Zerodha and ICICI, will count as 2 on this list). I am guessing around 45 lakh unique Indians who invested atleast once last year.
