HSBC plans to re-enter India’s equity broking market after 13 years, aiming to use an existing licence to roll out retail broking services to meet demand from affluent clients and take advantage of a strong IPO pipeline. The move reverses the bank’s 2013 exit from domestic retail brokerage and depository services and reflects rising global-bank focus on India’s capital markets and wealth management. HSBC India reported a 4% year-on-year increase in net profit in the first half of 2026, driven by higher revenue from its corporate and institutional banking businesses.
