Study says more Indians prefer NPS for retirement
In short
A study from HDFC Pension Fund Management says more Indians now prefer the National Pension Scheme, or NPS. It says people like it more because they know it better and consider it more often.
This matters for retirement savers and pension providers, but the report does not give the survey size or the exact increase.
What the reporting says
HDFC Pension Fund Management’s NPS Preference Index Study 2026 found that preference for the National Pension Scheme among Indians has increased, according to a publisher summary. The report says the rise is driven by improved consideration, familiarity, and appeal, but it does not provide the survey size or the exact change in preference. The immediate implication is stronger interest in NPS, while the underlying numbers are not stated in the available reporting.
