Hello Friends,
I am back with a great article , pretty sure you all will like it . Please don't forget to resteem .
Let's Start,
Earlier this week, Virgin Hyperloop One announced an ambitious, 25-minute Hyperloop sector between Mumbai and Pune. The company has further announced investment of Rs. 3,000 crore to build a test track that will act as a precursor to the eventual Mumbai-Pune route.
Here's everything that you need to know about Virgin Hyperloop One, and its plans for the Mumbai-Pune sector:
The Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Kiran Gitte, Metropolitan Commissioner of Pune has recently visited Hyperloop One's test track in Nevada, USA and is planning to bring it in India.
The route being proposed is the busy intercity sector between Mumbai and Pune, which is traversed by many on a daily basis and takes almost four hours to cover, via either rail or road. Hypeloop will take 25 minutes to cover the distance.
As per proposal, Virgin Hyperloop One will be sanctioned by the Maharashtra government to build a Hyperloop track that connects the Mumbai area with Pune.
Before the project is sanctioned and work begins, the company will build a test track to show the potential that Hyperloop brings to the table. For this, the company will require initial sanctions, and investments to procure land, import technologies and infrastructure. As per reports, Virgin Hyperloop One will invest Rs. 3,000 crore behind building the test track.
As Gitte has mentioned, the PMRDA has already identified a 15-kilometres-long stretch between Balewadi and Gahunje, both in the Pune district, as the ideal place to establish the initial test track.
Before this, however, the team of engineers from Virgin Hyperloop One will submit a feasibility report and a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to the Maharashtra government. The reports are expected to be submitted some time in August this year.
If everything goes according to plan, construction for the test track is expected to commence some time in 2019.
The Hyperloop project, however, is a very long term one. At present, an estimated year of completion is slated for 2034, although delays are certainly expected down the line.
Once complete, the Hyperloop route between Mumbai and Pune is reported to be capable of ferrying 5,000 passengers between the two cities, every day. At present, PMRDA estimates indicate an approximate 3,00,000 passengers commuting between Mumbai and Pune everyday.
