The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, will soon be testing hyperloop, for about 550 metres.
As many as 74 students from different departments are working on this project. IITM officials plan to test the hyperloop in the next eight months, for which it has tied up with the Indian Railways.
IITM is also working on 6G technology so that India can be an early bird to set global standards, instead of importing technology from other countries. In addition, IITM is working on 3D printing of rockets, said IITM director V. Kamakoti.
