JSW Motors Limited, the new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturing company of the JSW Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tata Indian Institute of Skills (Tata IIS) to establish a structured technical talent pipeline ahead of the commissioning of its greenfield manufacturing plant at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. The collaboration marks the first step in JSW Motors' broader ambition to build an industry-leading skilling ecosystem, one that begins at the plant floor and extends across the entire manufacturing value chain.
The partnership delivers a JSW Motors-specific curriculum co-developed with Tata IIS, covering EV systems, automation, welding, CNC operations, battery systems, and advanced manufacturing. JSW Motors retains hiring control and curriculum validation rights, ensuring the programme remains aligned to its evolving production requirements and plant ramp-up timelines.

"At JSW Motors, skilling is not an HR function, it is a business imperative. As we build our manufacturing operations, we need people who are ready from Day One. The Tata IIS partnership gives us structured capability, relevant curriculum, and the execution rigour aligned to our timelines. This is a deliberate bridge as we work towards building our own world- class training academy." Rupam Singh, Chief Human Resources Officer, JSW Motors Limited.
Tata IIS was selected following a competitive evaluation of leading skilling institutions across India. The institution differentiated itself through industry-grade training infrastructure, a strong OEM engagement track record, and application-based training methodology well-suited to the demands of modern EV manufacturing. The collaboration also builds on JSW Foundation's existing relationship with Tata IIS across broader Group-level skilling initiatives.
"At Tata IIS, our mission is to solve the nation's skill challenges by creating a next generation workforce that is not just job-ready, but future-ready. This partnership with JSW Motors is a significant step toward that goal. By designing bespoke programs in Advanced Manufacturing, we are equipping India's youth with the high-precision skills required to drive the next generation of automotive excellence and ensuring a robust, consistent talent pipeline for our industry partners." Venguswamy Ramaswamy, CEO Designate, Tata Indian Institute of Skills.
