India’s EV Transition Requires Skilled and Inclusive Workforce
IN · Published Aug 8, 2026
India's transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum, with increasing EV sales, expanded charging infrastructure, and ambitious manufacturing goals.
However, the shift to green mobility also highlights the need for a future-ready workforce.

Impact & Risks

The EV transition has the potential to create millions of jobs in areas like charging infrastructure, battery recycling, and digital mobility services. However, the lack of formal training and resources for informal workers could lead to their exclusion from these opportunities. Additionally, the automotive sector has historically been male-dominated, and the transition presents a chance to address gender disparities. Without deliberate policy interventions, the shift to EVs may exacerbate existing inequalities in the workforce.
