Reading this population figure
Haryana has a projected population of 3,12,99,000 for 1 March 2026 in the government’s 2011–2036 series. This is a modelled figure published in July 2020, not a new enumeration or a live count.
Its projection ranks 17 among the 36 current state/UT units in this collection. Its share of the published national projection is 2.20%, calculated from the source values.
This series projects Haryana at 31,299,000 people in 2026, about 23.5% above its rounded 2011 base of 25,351,000. That percentage describes the report’s modelled trajectory; it is calculated from the two published Table 8 values.
99.69% reported penetration; 3,12,03,340 estimated living holders. UIDAI uses recorded addresses and an estimated-deaths adjustment, with its own projection denominator.

Define the people or households relevant to the product before estimating demand. A population total does not establish category adoption, purchasing power or the area that a business can actually serve.
For Haryana, keep the projection’s date in your working sheet, document the eligible share and spending assumptions, and test how the answer changes. For a local outlet, define a city, district or travel-time catchment instead of using the whole state or union territory.

Resident population, migrants, commuters and tourist visits describe different populations or activities. Use migration evidence to examine usual residence; use tourism releases for visits. Neither should simply be added to this projected population.
