This development came within a week after an another cryptoexchange Zebpay had announced its shut down after the long fight the exchange has given to India's central bank,RBI, which has banned the banks from doing any transaction involving cryptocurrencies.
CEO Vishwanath had told news.Bitcoin.com that, initially, the company plans to deploy 30 machines in three Indian cities. “These ATMs help people to cash in and cash out which was not possible before” due to the crypto banking ban imposed by the country’s central bank.

To deposit INR into his Unocoin/Unodax account, a user would reach to an ATM and enter his User ID and the OTP that he just received as SMS on his registered mobile number. The user would then confirm his account details and deposit the funds into the ATM machine. Instantly his Unocoin account will be updated with the deposited funds that he can use on Unocoin to buy BTC or ETH, or he can use it on Unodax to place BID orders on 30 various crypto assets.
Amounts between Rs1,000 ($13.55), and Rs10,000 can be deposited or withdrawn.
