Gadkari unveils mega mobility plan including hyperloop, ropeways

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari just rolled out a massive ₹5 lakh crore plan to shake up how India moves.
Think urban hyperloops, electric rapid transit, and ropeways for tough-to-reach places—all alongside a big push to expand highways and build 100km of new roads every day.

TL;DR

Focus on pollution, logistics costs, and job creation

This isn't just about faster commutes. The plan means pilot projects like pod taxis in Delhi and Bengaluru, more eco-friendly vehicles from brands like Tata and Toyota, and fresh green cover with 20-25 crore trees along highways.
Gadkari says the goal is to cut pollution (transport is behind 40% of it), slash logistics costs, reduce fossil fuel imports by lakhs of crores, and create jobs—all while making travel cleaner and smoother for everyone.
