IIT-M startup may give life to hyperloop dreams

INDIA’S tryst with hyperloop, a high-speed transportation system, might be realised soon as TuTr hyperloop, a deep tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, is working to create a fullscale hyperloop infrastructure with a speed of 600kmph. With lot of technology impetus from the local community, Chennai is the ideal place for its advantages and the city has the chance to have the first global test facility for hyperloop.

The technology will be first tested at a speed of 100kmph at the 410-metre hyperloop test track at IIT Madras’ Discovery campus in Thaiyur. Once this mark is crossed, it will be tested in a longer track for 600kmph. If all goes well, the technology could even complement the Metro Rail network.
