This blockchain-based virtual portal will enable the estimated population of 21 million dwellers to check up on city developments through the metaverse.

This is first time that an Indian city has launched itself on the metaverse at a time when international players from the sector are showing interest in India expansion.
The Sandbox, a popular metaverse platform based in Hong Kong for instance, is looking to make India its largest market in the next two years.
On the sidelines of the expansion of metaverse in India, Meta recently reached out to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), insisting that India must promote dialogue between the policymakers and the industry stakeholders to ensure the constant growth of technologies like AI and the metaverse. The metaverse market is estimated to reach the valuation of $800 billion (roughly Rs. 59,58,700 crore) by the end of 2024.
