Avishkar Hyperloop, a student team from IIT Madras, created a prototype hyperloop pod designed to travel from Chennai to Bangalore in just 25 minutes. They are the sole Indian team to reach the finals of Elon Musk's Space X International Hyperloop Pod Competition. Hyperloop is seen as a transformative fifth mode of transportation, utilizing electric propulsion in low-pressure vacuum tubes. The IIT-Madras prototype aims to reach speeds of 400 to 450 km/h during the finals in Los Angeles. This innovative technology could significantly reduce inter-city travel times, such as the 5-hour Chennai-Bangalore train journey, down to 25 minutes.
