Now going by the name Virgin Hyperloop One, after British billionaire Richard Branson invested what must have been a substantial amount into the company, the Los Angeles-based startup announced on November 16 updates to their existing plans for a national hyperloop network in India.

Virgin Hyperloop One signed memorandums of agreement (MOU) with three other Indian states for preliminary feasibility studies for the construction of hyperloop routes, to identify which ones are most utilized. “Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, home to several of India’s largest economic centers including Mumbai, Bangaluru, and Visakhapatnam, are conducting studies with Hyperloop One to understand hyperloop’s feasibility and economic impact in the regions,” the company’s press statement said.
