Maruti Suzuki India plans to raise the share of female students at its Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM) in Manesar to 30% by Academic Year 2028-29, as the automaker looks to build a larger pipeline of women trained for jobs in India's manufacturing sector.
Female students currently account for 9% of intake at the JIM Uncha Majra, Manesar institute. The company has introduced a fee waiver for female students from the current academic year and plans to set up a dedicated hostel as part of efforts to make the institute more accessible to women.
