Asset tokenisation is emerging as a significant development in India's financial ecosystem, reshaping how investors access high-quality assets. With over 27 crore mutual fund folios and 18 crore depository accounts recorded as of March 2026, the growing investor base underscores the need for innovations that enhance accessibility. Tokenisation enables fractional ownership, allowing smaller investors to participate in high-value assets, thus bridging the gap in access. The Reserve Bank of India has initiated frameworks for digital financial systems, including card tokenisation and the digital rupee, reflecting a regulatory comfort with token-based mechanisms. Banish Dhar, Principal Advisor to the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, notes that tokenisation is not merely a technological trend but a structural evolution in ownership frameworks. This innovation is expected to promote collaboration between traditional financial institutions and fintech, enhancing efficiency and user experience. However, the success of tokenised systems will depend on maintaining trust and regulatory integrity, with compliance to data localization and KYC standards being essential. As India strengthens its digital financial infrastructure, asset tokenisation presents an opportunity to deepen markets and support economic growth.
