Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) Mumbai, established to develop an industry-ready workforce through advanced technology and hands-on training. Set up under a Public-Private Partnership between the Tata Education and Development Trust and the Government of India, IIS Mumbai is located on a 4-acre campus at the National Skill Training Institute (NSTI) in Chunabhatti.

The institute offers specialised training in fields like factory automation, digital manufacturing, mechatronics, AI, data analytics, and additive manufacturing. Initially, six courses, including advanced industrial automation, robotics, and EV battery specialization, will be introduced, with plans to offer hostel facilities for students soon.

The Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) Mumbai will feature advanced laboratories developed in partnership with over 15 global and Indian Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), allowing students to gain hands-on experience with real industry equipment at an affordable cost.

In addition to its specialised programs, IIS will offer short-term courses in collaboration with industry partners, including Industrial Robotics with Fanuc India, Industrial Automation with SMC India, and Culinary & Core Housekeeping with Taj Skyline.
