Senior executives from the Virgin Group have met the transport minister to discuss this. The talks are at a very preliminary stage and they may submit a formal proposal to Gadkari.”
Speaking at a public event here on Thursday, Gadkari also mentioned that he had met investors earlier and discussed a bullet train-like project.
Virgin Hyperloop One’s proposed Pune-Mumbai link project was okayed by the BJP government in the state last year. The first phase of the plan entailed an 11.8 km-long track. The project would have needed up to $10 billion in investment and up in 2.5 years to be completed. Uddhav Thackarey-led state government decided against implementing it amid doubts about its capsule technology, which is not yet operational anywhere in the world.
