Hyperloop India: India is unlikely to adopt hyperloop technology for high-speed trains in the near future due to its low level of technological maturity and economic viability. NITI Aayog Member V K Saraswat noted that foreign offers for the technology were not viable, and hyperloop remains a study program.
Elon Musk has praised Starlink India Director Sanjay Bhargava for his ambitious project to provide high-speed Internet to rural areas, saying he has “much respect” for Bhargava. Musk said Bhargava deserves a lot of credit for PayPal s success and that he is now helping SpaceX serve rural communities in India.
Sanjay Bhargava also mentioned that Starlink's target in India is to have more than 2 lakh terminals active by December 2022. More than 5000 terminals have been preordered in India till now.
