Personally, I don't think that the Modi govt's focus on bullet trains was to please an elite rich minority - rather, it was to show off India as an advanced country with 1st-class infrastructure, like Japan, Korea, and China.
Better for India to upgrade/expand the infrastructure for the middling masses, where it will generate the most benefit and appreciation, rather than waste money on an expensive White Elephant.
Hyperloop R&D seems to be progressing at a very rapid pace, and so if India were to defer extremly high-speed upgrades to the next decade, then we might be able to benefit from that next generation of technology which is said to be far cheaper and much superior in performance to current bullet trains.
