- Cable car proposed to create access to the Mata Chintpurni Temple in Himachal, India. The system would travel 1.1 kilometers and would have a capacity of 700 passengers per hour per direction. The cable car would create another access besides the single-lane roadway that currently leads up to the temple. The proposed ropeway should help with congestion to the temple during high traffic and events. The proposed system is estimated to cost RS 76.50 crore ($9.2 million USD).
