Hyperloop works on a know-how that will use magnetic levitation in low-pressure tubes to move individuals and items at airplane-like speeds.

In March 2022, IIT-Madras approached the Ministry of Railways with a proposal for collaborative engaged on improvement of contactless pod prototype and improvement of first-of-its-kind Hyperloop Check Facility at its Discovery Campus (at Thaiyur), in line with a PTI raport.

As soon as established, the proposed facility would supply the world’s largest Hyperloop Vacuum Tube that can be utilized as Check Mattress for additional analysis on Hyperloop by Indian Railways. The institute sought help from the Railways for manufacturing help, formulation of security rules, and entry to its electrical testing services. It has additionally requested funding help from the Ministry of Railways for taking this mission ahead. The estimated price of the mission, as conveyed by IIT Madras, is ₹ 8.34 crore.
