Margin Trading Facility Hits Record Highs in India
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) in India has reached a record high of Rs 1,17,480 crore by December 2025.
This means more people are borrowing money to invest in stocks.
Experts say this shows confidence in the market, even though there have been some ups and downs.
Big investors and experienced traders are using MTF to make more money.
Some brokers like ICICI Securities and Kotak Securities are leading in this area.
However, not everyone is sure this is a good thing.
Some think the market isn't moving enough for people to make real profits.
Still, MTF is seen as a safer way to borrow for investing compared to other methods.
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) in India reached a record high of Rs 1,17,480 crore by December 2025.
MTF volumes have nearly doubled in two years, from Rs 57,018 crore in January 2024.
Investors, including HNIs and experienced traders, are using MTF to leverage equity positions despite market volatility.
ICICI Securities and Kotak Securities dominate the MTF market with a combined share of 33%.
Some experts caution that the recent momentum in MTF has slowed, and investors are not making significant profits.
