hyperloop technology

Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the development of Asia's longest Hyperloop tube at IIT Madras, measuring 410 meters, with plans to become the world's longest soon. His visit to Chennai highlighted India's advancements in indigenously testing hyperloop technology, with promising results and further development of electronic components at Chennai’s Integral Coach Factory.

Vadodara hosted first-ever conference on the futuristic technology – hyperloop transport system: an Indian perspective – at the National Academy of Indian Railways (NAIR).

India has announced the construction of the world's longest hyperloop test facility, aimed at achieving speeds of 1,100 kmph. The project is supported by Indian Railways and follows the completion of a 422-metre test track. Collaborative efforts with TuTr Hyperloop and IIT Madras are driving the initiative forward.

India is set to build the world's longest hyperloop test facility, spanning 40-50 km, to advance high-speed transit technology. Backed by Indian Railways, it follows a successful 422 m test track developed with IIT Madras. The initiative involves collaborations with Swisspod Technologies and TuTr Hyperloop, emphasizing India’s potential in futuristic transportation.

Saraswat, who is heading a committee to explore the technological and commercial viability of the Virgin hyperloop technology, further said India should also constitute a regulatory mechanism because safety is a major issue in hyperloop technology.

According to a top government official, a committee under Niti Aayog would now look into the feasibility of having hyperloop transportation.

India is preparing to develop a 50km hyperloop corridor for commercial transport following the creation of a 422m test track by IIT Madras with Indian Railways' support. This project, if realized, could feature the world's longest hyperloop track, potentially revolutionizing transportation with speeds up to 1,200 kmph.

IIT Madras, supported by Indian Railways, has developed a 422m hyperloop test track and plans to create a 50km commercial transport corridor. This initiative, potentially the world's longest hyperloop track, aims to transform travel with speeds of up to 1,200 kmph. Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed further grants for IIT Madras and future commercial projects to assess the viability of this innovative technology.
