The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has highlighted a critical requirement for 2 lakh skilled personnel in the automotive sector by 2030 to support the anticipated 30% adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. This workforce demand underscores the industry's shift towards cleaner mobility solutions and the need for specialised skills in EV manufacturing and related technologies.

The industry body emphasises the importance of vocational training and educational programs tailored to meet the evolving needs of the automotive sector.

Industry experts suggest that meeting the demand for skilled workers is crucial not only for accelerating EV adoption but also for enhancing India's manufacturing capabilities and global competitiveness in the electric mobility space. The transition towards EVs is expected to create significant employment opportunities across various segments of the automotive value chain.

SIAM has called for collaborative efforts between the government, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders to develop robust training frameworks and upskill existing workforce to meet future demands. This proactive approach aims to bridge the skills gap and ensure a smooth transition towards sustainable transportation solutions in India.

Overall, SIAM's emphasis on workforce development reflects the auto industry's readiness to embrace technological advancements and contribute to India's clean energy goals through widespread EV adoption and manufacturing excellence.
