The global transition towards electric mobility and clean energy solutions is accelerating. Electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technologies are not just the future of transportation but are also central to addressing the climate crisis. India, like many other countries, is focusing on achieving a significant reduction in carbon emissions by promoting these technologies. However, the industry faces a critical skill gap in these emerging technologies, which must be addressed by equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and practical industry experience.
