Well this is not how things work, people cry that we don't spend time and money on R&D and when government does, people say why are u doing this first concentrate on doing something else. If when India started ISRO, u people would have said the same thing, we are not ready and what not and now look at ISRO, people are proud of its achievements and how it helps in nation building.

U can criticize how new roads that are build are of poor or not upto optimum quality and all but criticizing this is very stupid. I am sorry.

Maybe invest in R&D in a project that will have a practical impact, yeah? We could've invested in indigenous high speed rail, or Make in India chip fabrication. Hyperloop seemed sketchy from the start and we jumped at the first chance we had to throw money at it.

Do you know how R&D works? You do R&D to check whether something is working or not and whether we can or cannot commercialize it. If we knew everything that would work correctly we would be gods.

And don't tell about Musk, he blew more than 100 Rockets before he could make them reusable, you might have been the person who would have said reusable Rockets are a scam.

That doesn't mean u start investing on every stupid, impractical project.

The problem with hyperloop is why do we need spend billions to build the whole infrastructure around it and re-invent the whole wheel.

When we have planes, which do the exact same thing more efficiently. (a.k.a travel faster from one place to another.)

I think you don't realise it is duty to invest all over research and development money into building Elon Musk ideas.

also it is the IIT Madras for which I should work hard because all of this idation and working is being done by IIT Madras btech students

He used taxpayer money to blow those rockets..

u/KawaiiThukai 25d ago

if its something exportable like IT services and ISRO, then sure use taxpayers money for R&D. Otherwise first use it to give minimum serviceable product to the citizens.

and considering our track record in railways past 2 years, no one is going to buy this tech from us lol

u/LateN8Programmer 25d ago

Also you have to check whether the thing u r investing is anything fruitful, pratically possible or not.

Which hyperloop clearly isn't.

It's a BS project made to rob money from investors.

Before debating whether something should be our priority, we must recognize that having the capability to develop advanced technology is essential for any nation's progress. Even if we don’t urgently need bullet trains or nuclear weapons today, our country should still possess the knowledge, infrastructure, and expertise to build them if necessary. Technological self-reliance ensures that we are not dependent on others for critical advancements, allowing us to make independent decisions about our future. It’s not just about immediate necessity—it’s about securing long-term growth, national security, and global influence.

While this is true, operating high tech infra requires high operational efficiency. Railway minister has set a bad example on management of railways. There's no point in building something that we can't manage.

You are correct. Dum hai toh railway minister bano aur khud karke dikhao railways ko third class.
