Our Assessment
The three crore target was met ahead of schedule. As of early 2026, 3.01 crore SHG women had become Lakhpati Didis (annual income of Rs 1 lakh or more), with the original end-2027 target achieved by 2025. The government has since raised the goal to 6 crore by 2029-30. The specific manifesto pledge to move from one crore to three crore Lakhpati Didis is fulfilled; the higher 6-crore target is a new, separate commitment.
