HSBC plans India equity broking return after 13 years amid IPO boom, sources say

After a decade-long hiatus, HSBC is gearing up to re-enter the Indian equity broking sector, responding to the increasing demands from wealthy clients and an active share sale market. The bank is set to introduce retail broking services shortly, leveraging its existing broking license. With this move, HSBC aims to enhance its equities platform and tap into the growing retail investor segment in India’s wealth management landscape.
