Mahindra, Toyota, JSW among 25 firms to revamp govt's industrial training institutes

MUMBAI: In a major boost for the upgradation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in the state, the skill education department has received expressions of interest from around 25 companies and non-profit organisations under its Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Big industry names like Mahindra & Mahindra, Toyota, Chitale Bandhu, JSW and the Baramati Industrial Development Association are among those willing to adopt ITIs to improve their training standards. Mahindra, Toyota, JSW among 25 firms to revamp govt's industrial training institutes Employment and skill development minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said that ITIs had been bereft of the necessary upgrades for years. 'Through PPP and skill-based courses, we want to make these institutes more job-oriented and bring back their former reputation,' he said. Lodha revealed that JSW was interested in working on solar technology with several ITIs and Chitale Bandhu had evinced an interest in taking over a Sangli-based ITI. The state government approved the PPP policy for ITIs early this year. As part of the agreement, private partners have to invest a minimum of ₹10 crore for a 10-year term or ₹20 crore for 20 years. Half the amount will go towards upgrading infrastructure and modern equipment while the remainder will be used for staffing and training needs. The state had earlier reached out to over 5,000 companies and professionals to collaborate on ITI development. The state's skill education department, under the Maharashtra Startup, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy 2025, has designed 20 short-term courses across four categories: management, software, soft skills and New Age technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Each ITI will offer five courses based on local demand. 'Starting this academic year, ITI students in Maharashtra will have access to new short-term management and technical courses for free,' said Lodha. 'From September 15, courses in business analytics, marketing, production, finance and other management subjects will be introduced across all ITIs.' The courses, of three to four months (about 400 hours) each, aim to equip students with basic management and soft skills. While ITI students can enrol at no cost, others such as degree engineering and agriculture students can also join by paying a course fee. In addition to management training, new technical programmes in areas such as solar panel installation and maintenance, EV mechanics, industrial robotics and digital manufacturing will also be introduced. While talking on the Maharashtra Startup, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy 2025, Lodha said, 'To strengthen infrastructure, the government will establish micro-incubators in ITIs, polytechnics and other educational institutions, along with dedicated Regional Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centres (RIECs) in every division. These centres will focus on high-potential sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Deep Tech, FinTech, Med Tech, Cybersecurity, and Sustainability.'

New CAFE rules on way, automakers speed up flex fuel vehicle devpt

Kolkata: Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Toyota Kirloskar Motors (TKM) have all stepped on the flex fuel accelerator following minister of road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari's recent remark that the new Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) rules would balance both electric and flex fuel engines. This means the new CAFE 3 framework, due in April 2027, will give flex fuel vehicles that run on petrol-ethanol blends the same regulatory benefits as EVs. Flex fuel refers to petrol mixed with ethanol anywhere between 20% and 100%, which is derived from the fermentation of sugars and starches found in plants. Gadkari's remarks follow a meeting he held last year with representatives of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in which he asked automakers to look into ways of making these flex fuel vehicles more acceptable to the public, citing Brazil's successful integration of flex fuels and biofuels in its transportation.

While ethanol is less expensive than petrol, there is a downside to the fuel: it delivers less efficiency or mileage by 30% than pure petrol. Toyota plans to overcome this disadvantage by electrifying the flex fuel vehicle using strong hybrid technology. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like See Results for Car Selling Websites Search Now Undo "Strong hybrid cars with petrol engines are usually 40% to 50% more fuel efficient than petrol-only vehicles. So, the loss in efficiency from E100 will be more than compensated by the improved efficiency of a strong hybrid with less carbon footprint," said TKM senior VP & director (technical & purchase) Sudeep S Dalvi, who expects the rollout of flex fuel vehicles to be aligned with govt policies and regulations. Maruti Suzuki has in its 2030 product plan said 25% of its vehicles will be compatible with ethanol-blended fuel E20, while another 25% will be hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). At present, it has two HEV products in its portfolio: the Grand Vitara and Invicto, which use Toyota's strong hybrid technology.

Honda's first-quarter profit hit by tariffs, but lifts annual outlook

Japanese car giant Honda said Wednesday its net profit halved in the first quarter because of US tariffs , but upgraded its annual profit forecast after Tokyo finally hammered out a trade deal with Washington. In the first three months of its fiscal year, which begins in April, net profit fell to 196.67 billion yen ($1.33 billion), a drop of 50.2 percent year-on-year, the firm said.

However, Honda, Japan's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, has managed to withstand the pressure better than its Japanese competitors. Live Events More than 60 percent of the vehicles it sells in the United States are built there, the highest percentage of all major Japanese automakers, according to Bloomberg Intelligence auto analyst Tatsuo Yoshida. Despite tariff impacts and one-time expenses related to investment in electric vehicles, sales in the United States "remained strong", rising 1.2 percent year on year in yen terms, Honda said. Under a deal by Tokyo and Washington announced in July, tariffs on Japanese autos will fall to 15 percent, although this has yet to take effect. Other Japanese imports will be subject to a 15 percent "reciprocal" tariff, down from a threatened 25 percent. Without specifying its calculations, Honda said Wednesday that it had significantly revised downward the gross impact of the US tariffs on its annual results, to 450 billion yen, "based on a detailed review". As a result, it now expects only a 50 percent drop in its net profit for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, to 420 billion yen, compared with the previously anticipated collapse of 70 percent. It now sees an annual revenue decline of 2.7 percent, compared with the previously forecast drop of 6.4 percent.
