- To produce entrepreneurs in the field of EV technologies
Scope of Employment
Issues like global warming and air pollution united the whole world to take care of our environment. The government of many countries planned to ban the production and future sale of IC engine-based vehicles to reduce CO2 emission. India is one of them who decided to ban ICE from the year 2030. Thus, including India whole world is promoting electrical propulsion system in all field. Electric vehicles including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, Cars & busses are major attractions. Numbers of start-ups have been registered in the electric vehicle segment in the last few years. Improving density and reduction in li-ion battery cost slowly and steadily boosting up electrical vehicle market.
The Government of India encourages foreign investment in the automobile sector by allowing 100 percent FDI under the automatic route.
The Government of India aims to make automobile manufacturing the main driver of the “Make in India” initiative, as it expects the passenger vehicles market to triple to 9.4 million units by 2026, as highlighted in the Auto Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26.
India levies an import tax of 125% on foreign imported cars, while the import tax on components such as gearboxes, airbags, drive axles, is 10%. Therefore, the taxes encourage cars to be assembled in India rather than be imported as completely built units.
The government has formulated a Scheme for Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles (FAME) in India, under the National Electric Mobility Mission 2020, to encourage the progressive introduction of reliable, affordable, and efficient electric and hybrid vehicles into the country.
Besides government is also realizing the requirement of a large charging infrastructure to deal with issues like range anxiety and reliability of electric vehicles. Currently, the Indian government had decided to install charging infrastructure at every 3 km for 50 selected cities.
It results in opening new doors of huge career opportunities in the engineering & technology field worldwide.
As reported in India Times, Sep-2018, Electrical Vehicle makers facing a shortage of engineers. EV industries in India will require 15000 engineers over the next two years or so according to reliable sources.
And over the next two years, demand is expected to rise three-fold to 15,000 but the supply is expected to be 10,000. Automobile companies such as Tata Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki are queueing up at India’s premier engineering institutes to attract top talent in EV technology.
