Gujarat is planning a robust expansion in the clean energy sector, for which it is reportedly going to generate about 2,000 new jobs. Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi stated that the move is aimed at drawing fresh investments, while generating new jobs across construction, operations, maintenance and allied services linked to the renewable energy ecosystem.
The minister further noted that the state is seeing rising interest from both Indian and international companies looking to establish manufacturing facilities for solar modules, wind turbine components and energy storage systems. These investments are likely to create significant skilled and semi-skilled job opportunities, especially in regions earmarked for renewable energy parks and industrial clusters.
According to BW People, the state is also working with educational institutions and skill development agencies to design training programmes with evolving market needs in the clean energy sector. The report further stated that this approach will develop a local talent base for technical and engineering roles critical to sustaining long-term growth.
This comes at a time when the Indian government is aiming for a boost in employment through the new labour code.
