Reading this population figure
Lakshadweep has a projected population of 70,000 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 36 among the 36 current state/UT units in this collection. Its share of the published national projection is 0.00%, calculated from the source values.
At 70,000, Lakshadweep is the smallest projected union territory in the current 36-unit presentation. The original table prints 70 in thousands, so the unit is essential when reusing the figure.
108.48% reported penetration; 75,939 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 Lakshadweep, 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.
