Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) in collaboration with TuTr Hyperloop Private Limited is planning to develop a hyperloop, with a capacity of around 40 passengers, connecting Meenambakkam airport to Parandur airport in Tamil Nadu. The hyperloop pods operate at a faster speed through magnetic levitation, inside a vacuum tube, and have a motor magnet braking system along with air compressors installed for lowering the speed.
Further, TuTr hyperloop is likely to commence the trials of the technology at a speed of 600 km per hour (kmph), after its initial testing at the speed of 100-150 kmph in a 410 m long and 2 m diameter test facility at the IIT Madras discovery campus in Thaiyur. Following this, it will step for the approval from the Government of Tamil Nadu.
