Delhi To Jaipur In 30 Mins? Know how

IIT Madras, with support from the Ministry of Railways, has developed India’s first 422-meter-long hyperloop test track. This breakthrough technology enables travel of 350 km in just 30 minutes, meaning a journey from Delhi to Jaipur (approximately 300 km) could take less than half an hour.

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Collaboration between the government and academia is fostering innovation in futuristic transportation.”

The project, built at the IIT Madras Campus, was funded by the Ministry of Railways. Elated with the results, Mr Vaishnaw said, “The first pod of 422 meters will go a long way in developing technologies. I believe the time has come for the authorities to give the third grant of one million dollars to IIT Madras, following the first two grants of the same amount, to further develop the hyperloop project.

Railways plan to undertake the first commercial project soon.

Hyperloop: Revolutionizing Travel from Delhi to Jaipur

Referred to as the ‘fifth mode of transport’, Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation system for long-distance travel. It allows trains to travel at very high speed via special capsules in vacuum tubes.

“It involves an electromagnetically levitating pod within a vacuum tube thus eliminating friction and air drag and potentially allowing the pod to reach speeds up to Mach 1.0,” stated an official press release.

A Mach is around 761 miles per hour at sea level on a standard day.

“It added that Hyperloop will feature immunity to weather, offer a collision-free commute moving at twice the speed of a plane, consume low power, and store energy for 24-hour operations.”
