Green Skills and Electric Vehicle (EV) training programme

The Directorate General of Training (DGT), under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), has partnered with Shell India to launch a Green Skills and Electric Vehicle (EV) training programme.

• The initiative, implemented by Edunet Foundation, Shell’s training partner, will be conducted across selected Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) in Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka.
• The initiative is part of the Centre’s broader efforts to align skill development with India’s transition to a low-carbon future. It is aimed at preparing students and trainers for emerging opportunities in green energy and e-mobility sectors.
• The launch comes as India intensifies its push towards net-zero emissions. Government schemes such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME), alongside state-level EV policies in Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, are driving demand for a skilled green workforce.
