High-Tech HEMM Meets Limited Workforce Readiness
India is charging ahead with ambitious infrastructure developments—from highways and urban
projects to mining and construction. At the heart of this momentum lies heavy earth-moving
machinery (HEMM): bulldozers, excavators, cranes, and crushers. But deploying cutting-edge
machines at scale demands skilled operators and technicians—talent that’s currently in short supply.
The gap stems from the rapid adoption of advanced machinery that includes hydraulic systems,
automation, and telematics, occurring far faster than training institutions can adapt. Without timely
interventions, this disconnect threatens productivity, safety, and sustainable growth in the sector.

Svenska Institute of Technology (SIT): A Visionary Player in Bridging the Skills
The Svenska Institute of Technology (SIT), established in 2007, stands out as the only institute in
India solely dedicated to training freshers and experienced field staff in mining, construction
equipment, and commercial vehicle sectors
A Strategic Mission
What began as a visionary response to client needs—when a “You Buy We Run” promise put onus on
equipment support—has enabled SIT to craft a unique mission: to cultivate highly employable
technical manpower, especially from underprivileged and rural backgrounds
Powerful Programs & Industry Integration
SIT offers a robust suite of vocational offerings, including:

• Hands-on Courses in HEMM Maintenance & Repair, targeting BE, diploma, ITI graduates across mechanical, electrical, and automotive domains, structured as 4-month classroom programs plus 2-month on-the-job training (OJT)
• Orientation Programs for non-engineering graduates, giving them foundational exposure to heavy machinery systems and safety protocols
• Internship Modules aligned with NSQF levels, covering junior mechanic roles in engine, hydraulic, and electrical systems for HEMM—integrating multi-week theoretical and practical modules Collaborations with OEMs and Dealerships via customized training—from simulator-based operator training to technical coaching for field and workshop staff

Impact That Counts
So far, SIT has trained nearly 2,500 individuals, including mechanics, operators, junior engineers,
foremen, and service engineers. Over 700 trainees from ITIs and diploma programs found
placements in the industry. Underprivileged students benefit from the “Learn & Earn” model, where
corporate partners sponsor training, to be repaid once they’re employed

SIT’s Role in India’s HEMM Ecosystem: Why It Matters

By embedding real-world practices and industry standards, SIT ensures that freshers—and even non-
engineers—are not only trained but become adaptable and productive assets from day one
