India is ready to bring a new revolution in the transport sector. Soon the world’s longest hyperloop test facility will be created in the country. The project is being launched in collaboration with Indian Railways and IIT Madras, which aims to take hyperlop technology to a new level.

What is the goal of this project?

Preparation of the longest Test track in India on hyperloop technology.
Developing the ability to increase speed up to 1100 km/h.
It will get the support of Indian Railways.
IIT Madras and L&T Constructions together will develop it.

The world’s longest hyperloop test track will be built in India, train will run at a speed of 1100 km/h!

The world’s longest hyperloop track will be built in India!

Where will this project be?

• A 422 -meter hyperloop test track has already been installed in the premises of IIT Madras.
• Now it is being planned to increase it to 40-50 km long.
• This facility will be the largest hyperloop test facility of its kind in the world.

According to ET report, The new Test facility will be several times longer than the existing track and can lead India to a leading hyperloop technology.

Hyperloop: Future Transport System

Hyperloop is an emerging high-speed public transport system, which is several times faster and more efficient than traditional trains.

How does hyperloop work?

It uses pods running within low pressure tubes.
These pods are supported by air-biring surfaces, allowing them to run at a very fast speed.
Less energy is consumed compared to existing trains.

The IIT Madras and L&T Construction have together set up India’s first hyperloop vacuum tube test facility.

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said:
“This is a chance for India to redefine the future of transport. Hyperloop technology will reduce travel time and will also be environmentally friendly. ”

Indian Railways and IIT Madras cooperation

Indian Railways and IIT Madras together are planning to develop vertical take-offs and landing vehicles.
Railways will provide financial assistance for this project.
CEO Dennis Tudor of Swisspod Technologies said that the 40 km long Test track could cost $ 150 to 300 million.
In March 2022, Swisspod and Tutr signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which has the support of Swiss and Indian governments.
