No Hyperloop, focus on high-speed rail

According to the latest plan, the Mumbai-Hyderabad High-Speed Rail Corridor has been taken up about 70% of the proposed Hyperloop route on the Pune-Mumbai HSR route.

PMRDA officials stated that the distance from Mumbai to Hyderabad is about 711 km. A separate track will be laid for this railway. It has been approved by the Centre, the State, and the PMRDA. Apart from this, it has also been included in the PMRDA’s development plan. The high-speed railway line and the hyperloop route, which is an ambitious project of the Central Government, are almost 70% the same. Therefore, the possibility of the hyperloop transportation project has been reduced.

Ministry of Railways has proposed eight High-Speed Bullet Train Corridors across the country and the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad High-Speed Bullet Train project is on one of them. The 711-km Mumbai-Hyderabad High Speed Rail Corridor will connect Mumbai to Hyderabad via Pune with 11 Bullet Train stations at Navi Mumbai, Lonawala, Pune, Baramati, Kurkumb (Daund), Akluj, Pandharpur, Sholapur, Kalaburagi (Gulbarga), Vikarabad and Hyderabad.
