2 lakh jobs to be created in the automotive sector
India’s automobile sector ranks among the top five markets in the world. Also, in terms of manufacturing, its size is equally large. Now this market is rapidly shifting towards electric vehicles, which will now provide employment to over 2 lakh people. However, common people will also have to work for these jobs.
The government has set a target of 30 percent of vehicles sold in the country being electric by 2030. In this regard, SIAM, an organization of automobile manufacturers, recently conducted a study to find out how much manpower would be needed to achieve this.
2 lakh trained people will be needed
SIAM released a report on Tuesday. It says that to achieve the target of 30 per cent electric vehicles by 2030, the country will need over 2 lakh skilled manpower. According to the ET report, around Rs 13,552 crore will have to be invested from hiring to training talent.
SIAM President Vinod Aggarwal says that based on the evolving situation, the automobile industry will need skilled manpower to work on electric vehicles in the coming days. Vinod Aggarwal is also the Managing Director and CEO of Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles Limited.
He said that manpower is the essential advantage for India to remain globally competitive in the automotive sector. To achieve the government’s target of 30 per cent EV adoption, 2 lakh people with special skills are needed. India will have to send 30,000 skilled EV manpower to the industry every year, which is currently 15,000.
