Earlier this year, Telegana released a draft blockchain policy initiative which intended to establish an ecosystem for blockchain startups and research institutes. In August, Maharashtra was also preparing a regulatory sandbox for testing blockchain solutions in different applications. It planned to apply blockchain technology in supply chains, agricultural marketing, vehicle registration and document management.
The Andhra Pradesh government is also exploring the use of blockchain technology in its land ownership system. It thinks using this emerging technology can help find corruption and make the system more transparent.
