In a major leap for digital governance in India, the city of Amravati has announced plans to migrate all government records onto the Polygon blockchain. The move aims to enhance transparency, security, and accessibility in public administration which will make Amravati one of the first Indian cities to embrace full-scale blockchain-based governance.
Blockchain-Based Governance for Amravati
Amravati’s municipal authorities are initiating an ambitious project to digitize and store key government documents including land titles, permits, tax files, and citizen records on an immutable distributed ledger. This ensures every modification is time stamped, publicly verifiable, and resistant to tampering.
By using blockchain, officials aim to curb bureaucratic inefficiency, prevent data manipulation, and give citizens easier access to verified documents. The system could also streamline interdepartmental data sharing while reducing dependency on paper based records.
Why Polygon Was Chosen
Polygon provides a high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure ideal for public sector applications. Its EVM compatibility, carbon neutrality, and interoperability make it suitable for large-scale digital governance projects.
Authorities cited Polygon’s proven ecosystem, which already supports enterprise, DeFi, and e-governance solutions, as a key reason for selection. Additionally, the project aligns with India’s goal of developing indigenous technology solutions for transparent governance.

India’s Broader Blockchain Push
Amravati’s adoption of the Polygon blockchain marks a bold step toward transparent and citizen-centric governance. While still in its early stages, the initiative underscores how Indian cities are increasingly leveraging Web3 technology to modernize administrative infrastructure and build public trust.
These decentralized models have demonstrated improved efficiency, trust, and citizen empowerment. Experts believe Amravati’s model could serve as a blueprint for other smart cities under India’s Digital India and Smart Governance missions.
