PMRDA to study feasibility of Pune-Mumbai Hyperloop route
Pune: The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Los Angeles-based Virgin Hyperloop One to conduct a feasibility study of developing a Pune-Mumbai route. The report will be readied in six weeks.
Hyperloop is a cutting-edge mode of transport, which carries passengers and freight in pods via electro magnetic propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The medium is a fast, direct-to-destination transport mode that can achieve speeds of up to 1,080 kmph. The Hyperloop is also stated to be cost-effective, efficient, safe and reliable.
In short, a person can travel from Pune to Mumbai in 14 minutes. The 100km route would cost about Rs26,000 crore.
“The per km cost of development (Rs260 crore) is lower than the cost of an underground metro (Rs750 crore),” said Nick Earle, VHO senior vice-president.
On Wednesday, the PMRDA and VHO signed the MoU in the presence of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis.
VHO will work with its partners in the region and the PMRDA will help navigate regulatory requirements and support the report with data gleaned from the departments concerned. The preliminary study is intended to analyse the benefits of hyperloop technology, identify high priority routes and socio-economic benefits, and inform the government of any decision to progress to full project stage.
“If this route is found feasible, it will be the first in the country as others done for Andhra Pradesh and Chennai have not worked out. We are looking at connectivity to the three airports which will make the route viable,” stated PMRDA chief Kiran Gitte.
“Hyperloop will help connect the metropolitan regions of Mumbai and Pune, transforming the two cities into India’s first megapolis,” Fadnavis said.
The technology is in its nascent stage the world over. The world’s first full-scale hyperloop test site was developed in Las Vegas, while projects are underway in the Netherlands, Abu Dhabi to Dubai, and Stockholm to Helsinki.
