This report synthesizes a full-stack view of India’s capital markets “rails + manufacturers + distributors” ecosystem across exchanges (BSE, MCX), depositories (CDSL, NSDL), market utilities and platforms (CAMS, BSE StAR MF), and product manufacturers / distributors (AMCs such as ICICI Pru, HDFC AMC, Nippon, ABSL; fintech brokers Groww, Angel One; and wealth platforms MOFSL, 360 ONE, Nuvama, Anand Rathi Wealth). FY26 stood out for (1) continued financialization of household savings (record SIPs, investor growth), (2) sharp market drawdown in Q4 compressing closing AUM and causing MTM losses in “other income” across AMCs and platforms, and (3) explosive growth in derivatives—especially exchange options—driving supernormal profitability at exchanges and activity-linked brokers. The sector is simultaneously experiencing regulatory re-basing of mutual fund TERs effective 1-Apr-2026, price compression in KYC/KRA rails, and technology/capacity reinvestment cycles at MIIs and depositories.
