Insurance course for electric vehicles — studying from India
India is actively building its electric mobility and clean energy ecosystem, supported by national schemes such as FAME and the PLI programme for advanced chemistry cell batteries. Manufacturers including Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ola Electric and Ather Energy are expanding electric vehicle production, while companies like Amara Raja and Exide are building battery capacity. Hydrogen initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission are driving research and pilot projects. Engineers work on battery systems, electric drivetrains, charging infrastructure and hydrogen technologies, with regulation shared among the Ministry of Heavy Industries and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Fees for India: ₹47,500 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from India
How are battery and e-mobility engineers recognised in India?
India recognises these engineers mainly through the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), the Bureau of Indian Standards for product standards, and the Institution of Engineers (India). Government schemes such as FAME and PLI for batteries shape the sector but are not licences. SEIUM's qualifications are private and not accredited by a national body, so recognition depends on employers or the relevant body.
Which employers in India hire electromobility, battery and hydrogen engineers?
Employers include EV makers such as Tata Motors and Ola Electric, battery cell and pack manufacturers, charging network operators, and energy companies working on green hydrogen projects, including public sector firms like NTPC and IOCL. A private online qualification can support a move into these roles, but employers focus on hands-on experience and technical projects.
Can I study this alongside work in India, and how much time is involved?
Yes. The programme is 100% online and taught in English, so you can study from home without a student visa. Time commitment is about 300 hours for specialist courses, 800 for postgraduate diplomas and 1,900 for master's programmes. Each student has an assigned technical tutor, schedules follow IST, and fees can be paid in instalments. Check with your employer about funding.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine the programme with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulations and applied exercises. The working software is WTW Emblem, Audatex, GT Motive, R and Python (scikit-learn), in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied: pricing with generalised linear models, loss assessment of damage to traction batteries and product design for electric fleets. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final project.
Standards covered: Royal Legislative Decree 8/2004, Directive 2009/103/EC, Directive (EU) 2016/97 (IDD), Directive 2009/138/EC (Solvency II), Law 50/1980 on Insurance Contracts, Law 20/2015 (LOSSEAR), ISO 17840-1, Regulation (EU) 2023/2854.
