According to the reports, in this hyperloop system, trains will run at a speed of 1,100 km/hr, whereas the maximum speed of a bullet train is 450 km/h.
New Delhi: India’s transport system is set to witness a major revolution as the country’s first hyperloop test track is now fully ready. On Monday, the Railway Ministry shared a video confirming that India has taken another significant step toward a high-speed transport system. Developed by IIT Madras, this hyperloop test track is 410 meters long and has been built within the IIT Madras campus. The project has received financial support from Indian Railways.
What is Hyperloop?
Hyperloop is a futuristic technology in which a train travels at high speed inside a special vacuum tube. This technology promises passengers a fast and safe travel experience. According to the reports, in this hyperloop system, trains will run at a speed of 1,100 km/hr, whereas the maximum speed of a bullet train is 450 km/h.
With this technology, passengers could complete their journey in just 30 minutes. This means that if implemented across the country, distances like Delhi to Jaipur or Mumbai to Pune could be covered in just half an hour.
The trail run of the hyperloop track is likely to begin soon. If the trials are successful, this advanced technology could be implemented on a large scale in India.
Major Transformation in Public Transport!
It is important to note that if hyperloop trains are introduced in India, the entire structure of railway and road travel will witness a major transformation. This technology is not just fast but also highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. In the future, Hyperloop could turn the dream of fast, safe, and comfortable travel into reality for Indian passengers.
With this development, India has joined the select group of countries moving towards adopting hyperloop technology. In the coming years, it will be interesting to see how this innovation transforms India’s transportation system.
