Maglev technology refers to a transportation system that uses powerful magnets to levitate a vehicle above a guideway, allowing it to move without physical contact.

The vehicle is lifted and propelled forward using magnetic forces, eliminating the need for wheels or other physical support.

The lack of physical contact between the vehicle and the guideway results in reduced friction and energy consumption.

Maglev technology is considered environmentally friendly as it produces no direct emissions and has a smaller physical footprint than traditional rail infrastructure.
Though it is the fastest in the world, Maglev systems require purpose-built guideways, which can be more complex and costly to construct than traditional rail networks.

India is still exploring the possibility of Maglev trains. It lacks the infrastructure required for the trains to operate.
