UK to assist West Bengal in creating workforce for upkeep of EV infra
The UK will assist West Bengal in creating a technical workforce for maintenance of its EV infrastructure, which is poised to grow at a rapid pace as India switches over to electric mobility over the next few years, officials said on Tuesday.
As a part of the initiative, the state government is planning a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for the maintenance and manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) with assistance of the UK government, they said.
British Deputy High Commissioner in Kolkata Peter Cook said skill development in the electric mobility space is an important component contributing to the net-zero’ strategy, and will help in the creation of new green jobs and usher in investment in the EV sector.
