Mandi, July 29

A spokesperson for the IIT-Mandi said it was launching MTech in Electric Transportation. The duration of this program is two years. The first batch of the course will start from August. This is a joint programme between the School of Computing & Electrical Engineering (SCEE) and the School of Engineering (SE) at the IIT-Mandi.

He said the transportation system in India was on the path to electrification. Future power systems need to optimise the use of convertible renewable energy sources. Electric vehicle charging raises additional electricity demand in India. This can be achieved in a practical and cost-effective manner with renewable energy, including solar and wind supplied to the grid.
