For the first time, India will host a global, college-level hyperloop competition in February 2025 with a 410 m Hyperloop vacuum tube (track) at the Discovery Campus in Thaiyur Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
A team of engineers at IIT Madras and a startup have come together to build India’s first cargo hyperloop system. A test tract for the full stack technology is being planned to be operational by June, 2023.
The Phase-I work will take place on the 50-meter test track at IIT Madras. The subsequent work to achieve a 10-km track will be completed in Phase-II and -III involving a consortium of other industry partners from the automotive, construction and engineering sectors.
