CM keen to introduce 'Hyperloop' in State

Published on: 

In a bid to bring the State on the top of the world map, Chief Minister Raghubar Das wants to introduce ‘Hyperloop’ first here in Jharkhand before any other State does it in India. Das, while addressing a gathering at Ranchi Railway Station during the online commissioning of Barki Chanpi-Tori line said, “I want Hyperloop to be introduced first in Jharkhand so that it could be brought on the top of the world map. I will talk to Rail Minister Suresh Prabhu very soon in a day or two so that we can seek feasibility report for Ranchi-Jamshedpur from the concerned persons who are coming soon to Ranchi for a meeting with us,” said the CM. After the introduction of Hyperloop, distance of Ranchi to Jamshedpur could be covered in just 9 minutes, he added. The ‘Hyperloop’ refers to a technology originally outlined by Tesla founder Elon Musk, which envisions transporting people and cargo in pods at ultra-high speeds along specially built tubes. Air is pumped out of the tubes to maintain a low-pressure, near-vacuum environment, making it possible to move, theoretically, at close to the speed of sound.
