Total consolidated income rose to Rs 1,239 crore in FY26 against Rs 1,199 crore in FY25, CDSL said.
The company said that it became the first depository to register 18 crore-plus demat accounts as of March 31, 2026, extending the trajectory from 15.30 crore accounts as of March 31, 2025.
Nehal Vora, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, said, "FY26 stands as a defining year in our journey of empowering India's Atmanirbhar Investors.
"Surpassing 18 crore demat accounts reflects not merely scale, but the deepening trust of Indian households in the securities market, and with under 10 per cent of India's population participating today, the runway ahead remains substantial." The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 12.75 per equity share of the face value of Rs 10 per share for 2025-26, CDSL said.
