PUNE:
Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar
on Monday said the hyperloop project would not be implemented in the state unless there was more clarity despite the news about some preliminary trials of it abroad.
Ajit Pawar told TOI, “Even if it is tried and tested in other countries, the state needs to get clear information about the project.”
He said the state government would not invest in the hyperloop project even if Virgin Hyperloop conducted more trials abroad. The company would have to use its own funds for the test corridor. “At the most, we can provide them land, provided they come clean on testing and safety,” he said, adding he was not against any infrastructure projects, but such new technologies cannot be implemented unless tried and tested.
He said the state would concentrate on other modes of transport till hyperloop technology developed more.
