Chennai, Mar 12 (Reporter) The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M)-incubated deep-tech TuTr Hyperloop on Wednesday inked pacts with multiple National and International stakeholders to drive hyperloop technology in India. In a historic Indo-German collaboration, the IIT-M, TuTr Hyperloop Pvt. Ltd. (THPL), the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Neoways Technologies GmbH (NEO) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive the research, development, and deployment of Hyperloop technology. The signing ceremony took place during the Asia’s 1st Global Hyperloop Competition at IIT Madras' Thaiyur Campus in the presence of IIT Madras Director Prof. V Kamakoti, Indian Railways officials, and key representatives from all participating organizations. This partnership integrates academic research, industrial expertise, and engineering solutions to accelerate the validation and commercialization of Hyperloop systems. The primary objective of this MoU is to develop a structured framework for collaborative research and development in hyperloop technology, focusing on core areas such as propulsion, levitation, structural design, infrastructure and advanced control systems. The partnership will work toward establishing large-scale testing and validation sites, ensuring the technical feasibility and safety of hyperloop transit systems. This MoU establishes a strategic partnership that integrates world-class academic research, industrial expertise and advanced engineering solutions to drive next-generation mobility innovations. Through this collaboration, the four entities will work together to accelerate technology validation, infrastructure planning, and real-world commercial projects for hyperloop systems, a release from IIT-Madras said. Prof. Satya Chakravarthy, Advisor (Hyperloop), IIT-M said: “This collaboration exemplifies IIT-M’s leadership in pioneering next-gen mobility solutions. By partnering with TuTr Hyperloop, TUM, and Neoways, we are moving closer to making Hyperloop a reality.” “This collaboration between TuTr Hyperloop and SYSTRA is a pivotal step towards transforming high-speed mobility in India. By combining deep-tech innovation with global engineering expertise, we are not only accelerating Hyperloop development but also laying the foundation for scalable and sustainable transportation solutions. This partnership aligns with India's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047, ensuring that we lead the way in next-generation mobility", he said. Dr. Aravind Bharadwaj, Co-Founder and Director, TuTr Hyperloop, said “Strong academia-industry partnerships are crucial to realizing affordable and scalable Hyperloop solutions. This collaboration will enable us to create a revolutionary mode of transportation from India for the world.” Prof. Dr. Chiara Manfletti, Department Head, TUM, said “Our expertise in aerospace, propulsion, and system design will significantly advance Hyperloop research and commercial adoption.” Mr. Gabriele Semino, Managing Director, Neoways Technologies GmbH, said “Joining forces with IIT Madras and TuTr Hyperloop enables us to accelerate Hyperloop’s transition from concept to commercial reality.” In addition to the Indo-German collaboration, TuTr Hyperloop has signed an MoU with SYSTRA, a global leader in transportation engineering, to advance next-generation high-speed transportation technologies in India. The partnership combines TuTr Hyperloop’s expertise in Hyperloop and high-speed transit solutions with SYSTRA’s experience in infrastructure planning, engineering, and implementation. As part of the collaboration, Tutr Hyperloop and Systra will work towards establishing a pilot project to demonstrate hyperloop’s viability in real-world conditions. This initiative will serve as a testbed for refining and validating the technology, offering insights into how the hyperloop can be integrated into India’s transportation network for both passenger and cargo transit...////...
