The Hyperloop was first tested at 100 km/h at IIT Madras’s Discovery Campus in Thaiyur. Future tests are expected to target speeds of around 600 km/h.
In partnership with Indian Railways, the Avishkar Hyperloop team from IIT Madras and TuTr Hyperloop, an institute startup, a test track is housed at IIT Madras’s Discovery Campus in Thaiyur.
In the post on X announcing India’s first 410-metre Hyperloop test track completion, the Union Railway Minister commended the team’s innovative skills and expressed optimism that India will soon be able to develop cutting-edge Hyperloop technology.
The goal of the Hyperloop team is to create and sell reliable, affordable, efficient, and sustainable hyperloop technologies for high-speed transportation, according to a statement. The Indian Ministry of Railways is an important partner in the development process at IIT Madras, as reported by The Free Press Journal.
