India has moved closer to realising its vision of Hyperloop transportation with the completion of a 410-meter-long test track in Chennai. Located at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras’ Discovery Campus in Thaiyur, the project represents a major milestone in the country’s journey toward high-speed and sustainable transport solutions.
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the achievement on December 5 via X, stating, “Bharat’s first Hyperloop test track (410 meters) completed.” He also congratulated Indian Railways, the IIT-Madras Avishkar Hyperloop team, and TuTr Hyperloop, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, for their collaborative efforts in bringing this ambitious project to fruition.
