Indian states are spearheading blockchain-related initiatives from data management to the issuance of verifiable certificates
Blockchain technology is increasingly being integrated into India's public administration. While a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework is still on the way, India has generally embraced blockchain technology. Local and state governments across the country have initiated numerous projects incorporating blockchain, ranging from data management systems to verifiable certificate issuance.
One of the prominent cases of blockchain adoption by the Indian states includes the first-ever NFT-based land mutation in India. New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA), in collaboration with Airchains, adopted NFTs for land mutation. Covering 27,000 acres, they implemented 50,000 NFTs to represent one million property records, streamlining the traditional land mutation process. This improved the process and eliminated manual paperwork, record-keeping, and administrative procedures.
