NSDL is like a safe place where important financial papers are kept.

Many rich people and big companies keep their valuable things with NSDL, which means NSDL makes more money from each customer.
Even though keeping securities is its main job, NSDL also makes money from other businesses, like a payment bank.

NSDL holds a market leadership position in India with a 66% share in demat-based transaction settlement value and Rs 464 lakh crore in assets under custody as of FY25.
The company serves a distinct client base with a high proportion of institutional and High Net Worth Individual investors, leading to an average account value of Rs 1.18 crore.
NSDL's revenue is diversified, with only 44% from core depository operations in FY25, while 56% came from subsidiaries like NSDL Payments Bank.
JM Financial projects NSDL to achieve CAGR growth of 11% in revenue, 18% in EBITDA, and 15% in net profit over FY25-28.
