Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has presented a pre-feasibility route study to connect Anantapur to Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.

The company made a presentation to Capital Region Development Authority of Andhra Pradesh (APCRDA) and other nodal State departments today.

The meeting was attended by senior government officials, including Ajay Jain, Principal Secretary, Energy Infrastructure and Investment Department, J Krishna Kishore, CEO, and Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board and Sreedhar Cherukuri, Commissioner, Capital Region Development Authority.

In his presentation on the HyperloopTT, Bibop Gresta, Chairman and Co-founder, HyperloopTT, and Joel Michael, India Head, HyperloopTT, outlined the project details, according to a statement.

HyperloopTT has joined hands with Aarvee Associates of Hyderabad to prepare the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. HyperloopTT has proposed to set up a transportation system connecting Anantapur-Amaravati-Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, which forms part of around 700-800 km integrated public transit system.

The entire project is conceived to be implemented in three phases. In phase I & II, a commercial Hyperloop System between Amaravati and Vijayawada will be built.

In phase III, either the northern or the southern section will be built. However, phase II & III are interchangeable and can be implemented at the same time. The phase I alignment will be located in either Amaravati or in Vijayawada city running East-West on a 5-10 km straight section to showcase the benefits of the system.
