Aadhaar Hits 150 Billion Mark: Powering India’s Digital Leap

The milestone reflects India’s accelerating digital transformation and the increasing reliance on Aadhaar for secure, seamless identification and service access.


The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced that Aadhaar authentication transactions have crossed the 150 billion (15,011 crore) mark as of April 2025. This major milestone reflects the rapid pace of Aadhaar growth in 2025, with nearly 210 crore transactions recorded in April alone—an 8% year-on-year increase, according to the latest UIDAI updates.

This surge highlights the rising Aadhaar adoption across the country and its critical role in delivering government digital services. From public welfare schemes and banking to mobile connections and voluntary service enrollments, Aadhaar-based services have become central to enabling secure, real-time identity verification for millions of Indian citizens.

The UIDAI emphasized that this milestone is not just a number—it represents growing public trust in Aadhaar as a foundation for India’s digital public infrastructure. The robust uptake of Aadhaar authentication also supports key government initiatives aimed at improving transparency, reducing fraud, and ensuring targeted delivery of benefits.

Officials note that Aadhaar’s reach and integration across sectors continue to expand, making it a key driver in India's journey towards a digitally empowered society. With over 1.3 billion Aadhaar holders and growing, the system has evolved into one of the world’s most extensive digital ID platforms.

As Aadhaar continues to power digital inclusion, Aadhaar-based services are expected to further support financial inclusion, e-governance, and access to essential resources—strengthening the country’s position as a global leader in digital innovation and identity verification.
