In a major push for renewable energy readiness, Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) has launched a Green Energy Skilling Centre in Rohini, Delhi. The centre aims to train young professionals in cutting-edge clean energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy storage solutions, pumped hydro storage, and electrical safety.
The centre was inaugurated by Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), along with Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD of Tata Power. Located within the Cenpeid campus of Tata Power Delhi Distribution, this is TPSDI’s 12th hub across India.
TPSDI’s programmes align with national skilling frameworks, including the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) and the MNRE-led PM Surya Ghar Yojana. As a dual awarding body under NCVET (National Council for Vocational Education and Training), TPSDI offers industry-recognised certifications to boost employability in the growing clean energy sector.
The institute has trained over 3.4 lakh individuals so far, with more than 50,000 from affirmative action groups and over 18,000 women participants. With plans to launch eight additional centres this year, including in Ahmedabad, Lucknow, and Cuttack, TPSDI is focused on expanding its reach nationwide.
TPSDI uses practical tools such as life-sized models, simulators, virtual reality modules, and an online Virtual Academy of Skills. The aim is to not only impart technical skills but also to support entrepreneurship and employment across India’s energy value chain.
The launch reaffirms Tata Power’s role in preparing a future-ready green workforce to accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable energy,.
