 India’s Goals for Electrification

Developments:

• National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP 2020)

envisions sale of 6 Million Electric Vehicles.

• FAME India Scheme (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing

of
(Hybrid) and Electric Vehicles in India) by NITI Aayog
incentivises EV ownership by subsidising upfront cost of
purchase combined with GST rates slashed. FAME scheme has 4 focus areas:

• EESL has floated tenders for 4-wheeler Electric Vehicles • Technology

development
and procured 10000 vehicles from TATA
Motors/Mahindra • Demand creation

• Pilot projects
• First generation public EV charger standards set. • Charging infrastructure

• Growth in EV in shared mobility sector

(BluSmart, ElectricFeel, eBikeGo)
NITI Aayog Report - Approach to Mobility Transformation

India can save 64% of anticipated road based mobility

related energy demand and 37% of carbon emissions in
2030 by pursuing a shared, electric and connected
mobility resulting in a net savings of roughly Rs 3.9 lakh
crore (approximately 60 billion USD) in 2030

 Change is a continuous process

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM on 20th Oct 2020 identified that,

84% of jobs hiring process could change in defining to hire new permanent
staff with skills relevant to new technologies of an individual by 2025.
 Skill Development
• The growing skill gap can hinder the economic progress of the nation. The growth
of various sectors depends on the skilled workforce and minds in the domain.
• The largest drawback that India faces today is the inadequate vocational training in
the sectors.
 Skill Development
India is facing a lot of challenges keeping in view the current
infrastructure and the policy framework.

The challenges faced in skill development have been discussed below:

Insufficient
capacity

Mobilisation

Scalability

Skills
Mismatch
 Skill Development Stake Holders

Mutual efforts and contribution from the stakeholders can help to bridge the skill gap.
• Government agencies such as Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship,
NSDC, ASDC, etc.
• Industries
• Academia
• Agencies like IESA & ARAI Academy
• Corsortium like TPOs Consortium
• Educational and training institutes
• Students, trainees and job seekers.
 Skill Development Cell
• The All India Council of Technical Education(AICTE) is the authority determining
the future and prospects of Engineering education in the country.
• Skill Development Cell of AICTE has been entrusted the responsibility to train youth
by providing them skills.
• Major schemes are-
• Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana for Technical Institutes (PMKVY-TI),
• Employability Enhancement Training Programme (EETP),
• National Employability Enhancement Mission (NEEM),
• AICTE-Startup Policy,
• Skill Assessment Matrix for Vocational Advancement of Youth (SAMVAY),
• Leadership Development Programs, etc.
 Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the flagship scheme of the Ministry
of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) implemented by National Skill
Development Corporation. The objective of this Skill Certification Scheme is to enable
a large number of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help
them in securing a better livelihood. Individuals with prior learning experience or skills
will also be assessed and certified under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

About eBAJA
SAEINDIA launched the e-Baja (Electric Baja)
competition in 2015 by initiative of our OC and late
Ex- President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam based on their
discussion regarding sustainable mobility.

Mission Statement:
• Motive is to encourage students for solving a
problem statement by designing and manufacturing
an electric ATV by felicitating the best performance.
• Through this event, it bridges gap between
theoretical knowledge of students and practical
Industrial application
• e-Baja provides a platform to leverage the onset of
electric mobility in India.
• Future is Electric : e-BAJA is one step towards 30%
EV Penetration by 2030 and 100% EV Penetration
by 2047.
