El Hyperloop de India superará los 1000 km/h
India made Elon Musk’s biggest dream come true. It is a project that reveals the magnate even more than autonomous leadership. We are talking about his famous Hyperloop, a concept that we started to know in 2013. Then, the entrepreneur proposed a tube system in which capsules moved at speeds never seen before: up to 760 miles per hour.
In April 2022, a tweet appeared giving instructions that was an idea that appeared as quickly as it disappeared, finally could become a reality. Elon Musk literally posted: «In the coming years, The Boring Company will try to build a functioning hyperloop.» It is important to clarify that over time, Hyperloop has experienced certain progress, although in 2025, we still cannot enjoy it.
By 2016, The Boring Company raised a kilometer-long test track, while in 2020 they released footage described as the «first passenger test of Hyperloop» in their own 500-meter-long tunnel. According to estimates, Elon Musk the system could propel capsules loaded with passengers at speeds of up to 760 miles per hour, reducing travel time from Los Angeles to San Francisco to 35 minutes.
Elon Musk sees his biggest dream but doesn’t materialize it
India This illusion seems to be fulfilled Elon Musk with the creation of its own high-speed tunnel. Prepared by him Indian Institute of Technology Madras This project is trying to exceed 1000 kilometers per hour.
A revolutionary project that reinvents what we think we know about the concept created by Elon Musk over 10 years ago. India is not the only country trying to keep up with the magnate. Spain did the same by combining hydrogen hyperloop.
How will the Indian high-speed tunnel work?
With a length of 410 meters, tunnel India follows a methodology similar to Elon Musk’s Hyperloop. It will use vacuum tubes to exclude air resistance, allowing capsules to move at super-fast speeds.
If the tests are successfully completed, we would face a significant breakthrough for future mobility. One of the distinctive features of the Indian Hyperloop is its length. With an additional 40 meters, it will become the longest high-speed tunnel on the planet.
Its goal is to transport cargo and passengers in capsules that will move through sealed vacuum tubes, using magnetic levitation to rise above the tracks. This Indian technology can exceed 1000 kilometers per hour, offering much shorter travel times than current ones.
It is based on the principle of creating a vacuum inside the tube, an aspect that eliminates friction and allows the capsules to move without resistance. The first facilities are already tested on the campus. Tailayur from IIT Madras.
What time is India Hyperloop?
India’s Hyperloop is well advanced and everything indicates that it will open to the public soon. However, before this happens, a feasibility study will be conducted to determine the key points of the route.
Recently, Vaishnaw, the current Indian Railway Minister announced the start of the project along with Indian Institute of Technology Madras. In this presentation, he explained what it was exactly: «Hyperloop is practically like a tube.»
And he continued: «There will be a vacuum inside the tube and the capsule, which will operate inside the tube in levitator mode, meaning there will be magnetic fields that will lift it above the tracks.»
Here, India makes Elon Musk’s dreams come true and continues, with a tube capable of exceeding 1000 km/h. At the same time, China also offers something to talk about an undisclosed initiative moving the bird Space Bar and Elon’s hyperloop.
