# Meet the 700 MPH Hyperloop That’s Breaking Into Another Country

From its [record-shattering single-day launch](<https://futurism.com/4-104-satellites-in-18-minutes-india-breaks-a-world-record>) of 104 satellites to [hosting the world's largest solar farm](<https://futurism.com/category/climate-change-energy>), India has been making headlines lately. Now, another big development is on the horizon, and this one involves a hyperloop.

[Hyperloop One](<https://hyperloop-one.com/>) is set on revolutionizing the way we transport everything from people to cargo. The company believes in a simpler, tube-based mode of transportation that ramps up to speeds rivaling that of an airplane with the fees of a bus ticket, and India might find itself one of the lucky few countries where the company builds a hyperloop transportation system.

[According to Hyperloop One CEO Rob Lloyd](<https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/28/hyperloop-one-is-in-early-talks-with-the-indian-government/>), the company has been in communication with the ambitious government on ways to optimize a public-private partnership, with the Los Angeles-based company expecting to raise more than $100 million to invest in the country. For reference, Hyperloop One has already raised $32 million for its current projects in the U.S., Slovenia, and the U.A.E. — a third of the amount needed for the deal with India.

*Hyperloop Concept for India*

However, the[ government of India](<http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/delhi-to-mumbai80-minutes-hyperloop-aims-to-tap-indian-mkt_8571281.html>) is willing to spend $59 billion to transform and modernize its transportation systems, which may just benefit the Hyperloop One team after all. A project of this scale would fit right into India's "[make in India](<http://www.makeinindia.com/home>)" country-building initiative. The increase in business and manufacturing would put the hyperloop's 1,000 kph (621 mph) speeds to great use by [significantly decreasing transportation times](<http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/delhi-to-mumbai80-minutes-hyperloop-aims-to-tap-indian-mkt_8571281.html>) between India's major cities. For example, a ride from Delhi to Mumbai, which currently takes about a day, would be cut to just 80 minutes on a hyperloop.
