India’s growing population and congested transportation infrastructure pose significant challenges.
Typically, a person spends an average of 2-3 hours per day commuting to and from work, resulting in a huge loss of national productivity.By 2050, it is projected that 80% of the population may live in cities, exacerbating this problem of congestion.
India needs a faster, sustainable, and efficient mobility infrastructure designed for the next century.

To address these challenges, IITM Research Park & IITM Incubation Cell, this summer is developing High-throughput, Autonomous, Sustainable Human/Goods Transportation for India’s next Century (HASHTIC).
Our aim is to create a futuristic transportation solution that will revolutionize infrastructure, enabling individuals to travel from home to work in a maximum of 20 minutes. It will be a personalized autonomous POD (PRT) system that offers comfortable end-to-end transportation.It will operate at high speeds, using highly efficient green electricity, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
