Shell India

(EV), aimed at equipping students and faculty with future-ready capabilities in
green energy
and e-mobility.
The initiative will be implemented by the directorate general of training (DGT), under MSDE, and Edunet Foundation, training partner of Shell, across select industrial training institutes (ITIs) and the national skill training institutes (NSTIs) in Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, MSDE said in a statement issued on Friday.
Under this, specialised EV skill labs will be set up within select ITIs and NSTIs to offer hands-on training and expert-led sessions aligned with industry standards. Beyond lab-based learning, the program also provides placement support and co-branded certifications to successful participants, enhancing their employability in the green energy and EV sectors.

EV technician course
at four NSTIs, a 90-hour job-oriented EV skills course at 12 ITIs equipped with Shell-supported labs, and a 50-hour foundational green skills module at additional ITIs without physical labs.
As per the statement, the curriculum, jointly developed by Shell, Edunet Foundation, and DGT, covers EV systems, diagnostics, battery technology, digital tools, and safety protocols.
'The initiative also includes Training of Trainers (ToT) for over 250 instructors, certification co-branded by
Shell
and DGT, and structured placement support to enhance industry readiness,' it added.
'This initiative is part of our larger vision to create a workforce that is not only job-ready, but climate-ready. We are equipping young Indians with the skills to shape, and not just participate in, the global green economy,' Jayant Chaudhary, minister of state (independent charge), MSDE said.
MSDE is of the view that a comprehensive curriculum, specialized labs, and industry support will equip students with hands-on skills and certifications, enhancing their employability and positioning them to lead in a sustainable, innovation-driven future.
