Gadkari unveils mega mobility plan including hyperloop, ropeways

India Jul 06, 2025

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.

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.
