Ambuja Cements, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, has launched a new Electric Vehicle (EV) Assembly Operator Trade at its Skill and Entrepreneurship Development Institute (SEDI) in Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh. The initiative, driven by Ambuja Cements’ CSR arm aims to prepare rural youth for the fast-evolving electric mobility sector—equipping them with future-ready skills that align with the growing demand for green transportation across the nation.

A state-of-the-art EV lab has been set up at SEDI Bhatapara, offering hands-on training on electric rickshaws, scooters, cars, battery systems, and motor controls. Building on earlier skilling efforts in the region—such as training over 700+ local youth in trades like welding and tailoring—this new-age program reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to empowering communities with livelihood opportunities that are both relevant and sustainable.

The initiative not only opens up promising employment avenues for trainees but also inspires them to be part of the country’s clean energy transition. By introducing this green technology skilling programme, Ambuja Cements continues to foster inclusive growth while helping young individuals from underserved backgrounds drive positive change—for themselves, and towards a greener future.
