EV skills in Nagpur
Nagpur's long run with electric vehicles
Trainees studying an electric car on a vehicle lift
In May 2017 Ola launched a multi-modal electric vehicle project in Nagpur with 200 vehicles, including 100 Mahindra e2o Plus cars, plus e-buses, e-rickshaws and e-autos. Charging points were set up at the airport complex and across the city.
Today more than half of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation's Aapli Bus fleet is electric. In June 2025 it had 230 electric buses, and by the end of 2025 that had reached 289, with depots at Koradi and Khapri being built. The city is also home to MIHAN, a multi-product special economic zone focused on aviation, IT and manufacturing.
An early pilot
The 2017 project was inaugurated at Nagpur airport by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and the Union Road Transport Minister.
A mostly electric city fleet
In mid-2025 most of Aapli Bus's electric buses were AC, running alongside midi and mini buses on 129 routes.
State buses too
MSRTC's Nagpur division had 228 e-buses sanctioned but only 60 delivered in 2025, held back partly by charging depots that were not ready.
MIHAN
The SEZ covers about 1,238 hectares and is run by the Maharashtra Airport Development Company.

3. Build and simulate
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home, delivered anywhere in India.
4. Train hands-on at a DIYguru centre
The CEVT and PG programmes include hands-on workshops at our Delhi and Pune centres: batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics on real vehicles. Nearest to Nagpur: Pune (DY Patil University campus).
5. Get certified
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Certificates and EV work rules in India
Maharashtra has no separate licence for EV technicians, and nor does the central government. ASDC's NSQF EV job roles are the nearest thing to a standard. Charger installation and depot wiring count as electrical installation, which the CEA's 2023 regulations and state rules restrict to licensed electrical contractors. Our certificate records completed training only. It is not a licence.
