In addition to developing these programs, Ather Energy will supply vehicles, motors, batteries, and other essential hardware to establish EV labs at TATA IIS facilities nationwide. Ather Energy will also train TATA IIS instructors at its own locations, including manufacturing plants and R&D labs. The course content will be continuously reviewed and updated by Ather Energy to ensure it remains relevant to industry trends and technological advancements.
