The rise of margin trading in India: A regulated tool for smarter investing

India's Margin Trading Facility (MTF) rose from ₹50,000 cr. in March 2024 to ₹85,000 cr. in September and came to standstill at ₹75,000 cr. Easy access now, MTF requires lesser leverage compared to derivatives and poses lesser risks. While a small market relative to the United States, growth exists. Regulations by SEBI maintain stability while MTF promotes liquidity as well as holding shares.
