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.
“The production of green hydrogen will have a lower carbon footprint than blue hydrogen only when the grid reaches 90% carbon-free power generation. Thus, adopting blue hydrogen will eventually lay the path for green hydrogen with incremental greening of source electricity,” Saraswat noted in his presentation.
The NITI Aayog framework is expected to help the government prioritize funding, setting regulations, mitigate risks and enhance public-private partnership.
Member of Niti Aayog and Chancellor of Jawahar Lal Nehru University, VK Saraswat in an exclusive conversation with Business Today said that if India wants to become self-sufficient in semiconductor, then it should not repeat the mistakes of the past.
