While India prepares to tackle possible crypto-related crimes amid greater adoption, the nation continues to explore mainstream use cases in blockchain. India’s state-run oil and gas company, Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), recently launched a blockchain system to enable automated verification of purchase orders (POs).
HPCL partnered with the blockchain software firm Zupple Labs to integrate its blockchain-based digital credentialing technology into the purchase order system.
“The implementation helps to automate the verification of HPCL POs to external parties,” a spokesperson for HPCL told Cointelegraph. “This works by integrating the blockchain system with HPCL’s internal e-PO and generates tamper-evident verifiable POs,” the representative noted.
