<br /> It’s official! The much hyped <keyword id="6396317" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyperloop">Hyperloop</keyword> technology is officially coming to India. However let’s not confuse between <keyword id="2914023" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyperloop-Transportation-Technologies">Hyperloop Transportation Technologies</keyword> (HTT) and this one. As per an invite shared with the media, <keyword id="4224527" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="hyeprloop">Hyeprloop</keyword> One will hold a press conference this Tuesday in Delhi, where the Railways Minister <keyword id="6356597" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Suresh-Prabhu">Suresh Prabhu</keyword> and NITI Ayog CEO <keyword id="6358887" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amitabh-Kant">Amitabh Kant</keyword> will be present.<br />
<br /> On the other hand, <keyword id="4224526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="hyeprloop-transportation-technologies">Hyeprloop Transportation Technologies</keyword> (HTT) is in talks with at least five state governments to build a high-speed travel network. It is also raising $100 million to invest in India.<br />
<br /> The concept of high-speed travel in tubes has been around for decades. But <keyword id="6355315" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Elon-Musk">Elon Musk</keyword> incorporated reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors and made this a reality. This mode of passenger and freight transportation would propel a pod-like vehicle through a near-vacuum tube at more than airline speed. The alpha version of the proposal, published on the <keyword id="6360701" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="SpaceX">SpaceX</keyword> website, describes claims of the design of the system, as well as its function.<br />
<br />
While the concept is called Hyperloop, a superfast way to travel at a nominal cost, there are a few companies that are building it into a reality.<br />
<br /> "We have five offers on the table from five chief ministers. We spoke to them and the one that will give us the land we will go and build. We have local partners and we are now raising USD 100 million and bringing another investment from abroad," Hyeprloop Transportation Technologies chairman <keyword id="3925574" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bibop-Gresta">Bibop Gresta</keyword> told news agency PTI.<br />
<br /> <keyword id="3928014" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="gresta">Gresta</keyword> further said that he had met the Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> and also the Chief Ministers of various states including <keyword id="37102" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh">Andhra Pradesh</keyword> and <keyword id="6360371" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jharkhand">Jharkhand</keyword> and expressed his interest in starting the project. If the government helps Gresta is selecting lands and sorting other red tapes, Hyperloop may start operating in India within 3 years from now.<br />
<br /> While Hyperloop One has convinced the railway minister to attend its India event, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies claims to be in touch with the Transport Minister for the centre <keyword id="26680" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nitin-gadkari">Nitin Gadkari</keyword>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Cost</strong><br />
Building Hyperloop network is expensive but not as much as Bullet Trains. Each kilometre of Hyeprloop costs nearly about $20 million. In its first leg, HTT wants to start with 5-6 km initially.<br />
<br />
Even though the pods travel at a speed higher than passenger planes, the ticket fares are expected to be equal to first class trains or less.<br />
<br />
<strong>Speed</strong><br />
As per the hypothesis is believed, Hyperloop can travel at a speed of 1000 km/hour and definitely a futuristic way to travel.<br />
Imagine your travel between Mumbai to Pune, a distance of 150 km, can be completed in just 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
.

You
may commute between Mumbai-Pune in just 10 minutes at price of train ticket. Here’s

<br />
The efficiency of this transportation system can be estimated by the time it would take to cover the distance between Mumbai and Pune, which is less than 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
"India has a great opportunity to leapfrog to better modes of transportation," Gresta told ET.<br />

<br />
He believes that India should not invest in bullet trains, but in "the future," since bullet trains are noisy, polluting and would prove to be a liability for future generations.<br />
<br />
To procure funds worth $120 million for investment in India, HTT will be doing road shows starting next month. HTT’s manpower in India is 20-people strong, who work at home 10 hours a week in exchange for stock options. They get one stock option for every hour of work done.<br />
<br />
In recent months, Gresta has met <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/too-realistic-nitin-gadkari-wants-to-bring-davos-to-uttarakhand/articleshow/57250266.cms">Nitin Gadkari</a>, the minister for Road Transport, Highways And Shipping, along with CMs of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand and Maharahstra.<br />

<br />
Developing Hyperloop would cost $20-40 million per kilometre. "In India it could be cheaper. Hyperloop cost is comparable with traditional rail but is cheaper than high speed rail (like bullet train)," said Gresta.<br />

India should invest in the future, not bullet trains, says Hyperloop chairman

<br />
<br /> Elon Musk-backed <keyword id="2914023" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyperloop-Transportation-Technologies">Hyperloop Transportation Technologies</keyword> (HTT) Co-Founder Bibop G <keyword id="3928014" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="gresta">Gresta</keyword> today said the company is ready to build <keyword id="6396317" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hyperloop">Hyperloop</keyword> between Mumbai and Pune, but the decision is left with Union Transport Minister <keyword id="26680" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nitin-gadkari">Nitin Gadkari</keyword> to go ahead with the project and can be built in 38 months.<br />
<br />
The company is also working with 25 Indians, including two Indian companies, to build the transportation system, which involves shooting tubes in a vacuum chamber across vast distances-Hyperloop.<br />
<br />
"There are two Indian companies working with us. One is a maker of the tubes, another is an engineering company. I can't name them right now though. But in total we have about 25 people from India working on the Hyperloop,” Gresta told ET.<br />
<br />
According to Gresta, India planning on spending thousands of crores to build bullet trains to boost the country's transportation infrastructure is a bad idea.<br />
<br />
"You are going to spend $12 billion on a bullet train? Put $1 billion in hyperloop and you will never need a bullet train, he told ET.<br />
<br />
He also said that India needs hyperloop because of the bad conditions transportation.<br />
<br />
"I think India is a perfect country to implement this project because the roads are not that good. Here the transportation is not capable to sustain a growth in a country like India," he said.<br />
<br /> Among the prominent cities and countries where the Hyperloop will be built are California, Utah, Illinois, Florida, Indianapolis, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Spain, France, Slovakia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Botswana, South <keyword id="12925" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Africa">Africa</keyword>, Russia, China, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Australia. Gresta said the company has received an investment of over $100 million to build Hyperloop in these countries and cities around the globe.
