The total length of the Hyperloop test track built at IIT Madras is 410 meters. The Union Minister has praised all the teams associated with the project for this work. He expressed hope that India will soon be able to realize this future technology.
This test track has been jointly built by Indian Railways, Aavishkaar Hyperloop team of IIT Madras and TuTr Hyperloop. Tutt Hyperloop is a startup created by the students of IIT Madras.
Watch: Bharat’s first Hyperloop test track (410 meters) completed.

Why was the Hyperloop Test Track built? Actually, its objective is to develop and commercialize hyperloop technology for high-speed, economical, reliable and sustainable transportation. Indian Railways and IIT Madras are working together on developing technology related to this.
According to the report, this Hyperloop test track was tested for the first time at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Now preparations are on for testing on long tracks so that the speed of 600 kilometers per hour can be reached. If this technology is successful then the method of transportation in Indian cities can change. It can work simultaneously with the metro train system.
One specialty of the Hyperloop train system is that it does not stop between two destinations. In simple language, it goes from one point to another without stopping.
According to media reports, India’s first Hyperloop train will run between Mumbai and Pune. With this, the journey between Mumbai and Pune is expected to be completed in just 25 minutes. The distance between the two cities is about 150 kilometers.
