And what, pray, web engine will these browsers use? There is only two out there, one owned by Google and one by Apple.

Webkit and Blink both are GNU LGPL, BSD style. Gecko is Mozilla Public. Only major (?) engine, Trident of MS, is proprietary.

"LGPL, BSD style" is quite liberal (though not as liberal as MIT Licence), so is "Mozilla Public". LGPL means you can link them as libraries (or are they moules) to your commercial closed source code. You find bugs, you can always fork and maintain your fork downstream. Easier still is to contribute to the code base directly. LGPL means you have to only share the code of the library only, not your application code. In that sense it is more liberal than GPL.

If that’s the bar, then get a Linux distribution and call it a day. The discussion was on an Indian OS right?

My understanding is that we are talking about a Linux respin. There is little profit, i.e. advantage, in a reinventing the wheel. Use Linux on the backend and Webkit or Blink for the front end UX/GUI.

@bala gaaru, I disagree on two things -
2. Hyperloop is hyperhype.

Vayu ji this is interesting development on "Hyperloop".

Bharat Earth Movers Limited(BEML), a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TuTr Hyperloop, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, to jointly develop India's first indigenously designed Hyperloop transportation system.

Hyperloop is a transport system where pods carrying passengers or cargo travel through sealed tubes under near-vacuum conditions. The system uses Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) and Linear Induction Motor (LIM) propulsion to achieve high speeds.

Manufacturing and prototype development

As per BEML will act as the principal manufacturing partner for TuTr Hyperloop. The collaboration will focus on building a prototype pod capable of carrying passengers and cargo at high speeds. The system aims to offer a faster and more efficient transport solution. The prototype will incorporate LIM and Maglev systems as part of its propulsion architecture.

This partnership is a step forward for India's efforts in high-speed transportation, said Shantanu Roy, Chairman and Managing Director, BEML. It aligns with the goals of Viksit Bharat 2047 and Atmanirbhar Bharat by supporting transport systems built with Indian engineering and manufacturing.

At TuTr, we are working to translate scientific research into technologies that can change how people and goods move, said Prof Kamakoti of IIT-M. TuTr Hyperloop was previously selected under the Ministry of Railways Hyperloop Development Programme and has been working on experimental test tracks in partnership with academic institutions. The collaboration with BEML marks one of the first formal steps toward establishing a commercial-scale indigenous Hyperloop system.
