The identified sectors include automotive and precision manufacturing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, textile and apparel, aerospace and defence, and engineering and construction technology.The Ministry of Skills Development and Entrepreneurship will transform five National Skills Training Institutes into National Centres of Excellence, as announced in budget 2025-26. The government has earmarked ₹1,000 crore to upgrade these centres and provide skills training over a period of five years."Meetings have been held with top officials of Germany, Australia, Japan, France and Singapore to get technical help from them on machinery needed for world-class skills training, the curriculum and the level of degree for trained candidates," the official said.
