Tata Power has always believed that human capital development is central to nation-building. TPSDI, established over a decade ago, has already trained more than three lakh individuals and continues to bridge the sectoral skill gap through industry-relevant, employability-focused training. This collaboration with NSDC underscores TPSDI’s scale, impact, and excellence in workforce transformation. Going forward, we aim to significantly expand TPSDI’s footprint by establishing more centers beyond our current network of eleven. Through this, we will further strengthen India’s green energy talent ecosystem and contribute meaningfully to the national vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Mr. Nitin Kapoor, Vice President, NSDC Academy, echoed the sentiment: “This partnership with TPSDI and Tata Power is a significant milestone for Skill India. We admire TPSDI’s legacy in capacity building, inclusive skilling, and employability enhancement. Skilling is no longer a luxury but a necessity, and TPSDI’s commitment will help industry professionals continuously upskill and reskill in a rapidly transforming power landscape. The strength of the Tata brand and this partnership will accelerate India’s goal of creating a digitally enabled, energy-smart workforce.”
This collaboration is a pivotal step toward creating a highly skilled, industry-ready, and digitally empowered youth base, aligned with India’s vision of green growth, sustainable livelihoods, and a robust energy sector talent pool.
