What is Hyperloop Tube: Hyperloop Tube is going to be ready soon in India. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav himself reached IIT Madras to see the longest Hyperloop Tube project and also got a glimpse of it.

Hyperloop Tube: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav on Saturday visited the Hyperloop Testing Faculty Center of IIT Madras and said that the 410-meter long Hyperloop Tube will soon become the world's longest high-speed tube. Sharing the information on social media, he said that this is Asia's longest Hyperloop Tube and will soon create a world record.

being prepared with indigenous technology

The minister saw a live demonstration of this state-of-the-art transport technology at the Hyperloop Test Center built in the Discovery Campus of IIT Madras. He said that this high-speed train runs in vacuum and has been completely prepared with indigenous technology. During this, he also praised the new ideas of the youth and the Avishkar organization, who are working on this system and have given good results.

Railways gave financial help

The Ministry of Railways has provided financial help and technical support to this project. Also, the electronic technology required for Hyperloop will be developed at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. This is the same institute that has developed electronic systems for Vande Bharat high-speed trains.

IIT Chennai also visited

Apart from this, the Union Minister also visited the Open House 2025 exhibition held at the Guindy campus of IIT Chennai. This exhibition was organized by the Innovation Center of IIT, in which IIT Chennai Director Dr. Kamakoti was also present. The minister interacted with the students and motivated them. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India will soon become a leading nation in all fields.

The country's first indigenous semiconductor

During this, he also presented awards to the winners of the innovation competition and encouraged the students to remain engaged in similar creative work. He informed that currently five semiconductor facilities are operational in India and the country's first indigenous semiconductor will be launched by the end of this year. He told the youth that their excellent talent in the field of data science, artificial intelligence and semiconductors will help India become a developed nation.

What is a Hyperlube Tube?

Hyperloop Tube is a new transport system in which pods (capsule like vehicles) are driven at very high speeds inside a low pressure tube (Vacuum Tube). This technology can be capable of giving faster speeds than conventional rail and air travel. According to one information, its speed can be 1000 to 1200 Km per hour. Hyperloop does not depend on conventional fuel, which makes it environmentally friendly.

Elon Musk gave the idea

Its original idea was given by Elon Musk in 2013. After this, many companies, such as Virgin Hyperloop and Hyperloop.
