  Generating and tailoring photocurrent in topological materials has immense
importance in fundamental studies and the technological front. Present work
introduces a universal method to generate ultrafast photocurrent in {\it both}
inversion-symmetric and inversion-broken Weyl semimetals with degenerate Weyl
nodes at the Fermi level. Our approach harnesses the asymmetric electronic
population in the conduction band induced by an intense {\it single-color}
circularly polarized laser pulse. It has been found that the induced
photocurrent can be tailored by manipulating helicity and ellipticity of the
employed laser. Moreover, our approach generates photocurrent in realistic
situations when the Weyl nodes are positioned at different energies and have
finite tilt along a certain direction. Present work adds a new dimension on
practical applications of Weyl semimetals for optoelectronics and
photonics-based quantum technologies.
