Where India recorded 78.3 million Udyam and Udyam Assist registrations

The bars compare cumulative registrations using the same 28 February 2026 cutoff.
The two portals started at different times
The ministry launched the Udyam Registration Portal on 1 July 2020. The Udyam Assist Platform followed on 11 January 2023 to formalise informal micro enterprises. The state annexure adds registrations recorded through both channels. Source 1
Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh made up almost one quarter
The annexure records about 10.14 million registrations in Maharashtra and 8.60 million in Uttar Pradesh. Together the two account for 23.9% of the national total. Tamil Nadu followed at 6.23 million. Source 1
State counts are a measure of the register's reach
The state table provides cumulative registrations and does not give each state's total number of eligible enterprises. A registration count can show where the two systems recorded more businesses. The same count cannot establish a state-level formalisation rate or the number of businesses still active. Source 1
The later national update uses another cutoff
The ministry subsequently said that combined registrations exceeded 87 million by June 2026. The chart retains the earlier February date because the source gives each state's count at that point. The June headline total cannot be used to revise each state's share without a matching breakdown. Source 1 Source 2
