Andhra Pradesh launched a blockchain-based land records pilot across 1.37m land parcels in seven districts, integrating revenue, survey, and registration systems onto a tamper-proof Hyperledger Fabric infrastructure with a November statewide rollout deadline. The system uses unique digital IDs and immutable records to prevent fraudulent registrations and land disputes.

The Wire takeaway

If you build title verification, fraud detection, or dispute resolution software, a state government just created a customer: everyone it regulates now has immutable land records and will need to integrate with them. You're not selling to the state—you're selling to the 1.37m landowners and intermediaries who now have a new system to work around.
