India’s hyperloop leap
India plans a 50km hyperloop corridor after IIT Madras built a 422m test track with Indian Railways' support, aiming for the world's longest hyperloop track.
Government’s big push
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced a $1 million grant for IIT Madras to advance hyperloop tech, with plans for a commercial test track soon.
Lightning-fast travel
Hyperloop technology can hit speeds of 1,200 kmph, promising ultra-fast, efficient travel as a game-changer for India's transport system.
IIT Madras at the forefront
IIT Madras is leading India's first hyperloop research, having built the first test track and securing government funding to develop cutting-edge transport technology
Global hyperloop race
India joins eight global hyperloop projects, including Virgin Hyperloop in Nevada and TransPod in Canada, pushing futuristic transport forward.
Tech origins & evolution
First proposed in the 1970s, hyperloop tech saw initial Swiss development in 1992, but gained momentum globally with new innovations.
More innovation ahead
IIT Madras and Indian Railways will also collaborate on VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) vehicles, expanding India’s futuristic mobility plans
