Godrej Enterprises Group Opens Forklift Training Facility in Bhosari

As India accelerates its manufacturing, infrastructure and supply chain expansion, Godrej Enterprises Group has launched a Forklift Training Center in Pune to address the growing demand for certified and safety-trained operators.

The training facility, spread across 2,000 sq. ft. in Bhosari, has been established by RenTRUST, the rental arm of GEG’s Material Handling Equipment business. The centre integrates structured classroom instruction, safety-first practices and hands-on certification to align operator skills with industry requirements. The facility has the capacity to train and certify over 45 candidates every month, directly supporting industrial clusters in and around Pune.

The initiative also reflects GEG’s commitment to inclusive employment, with women candidates receiving a 50% concession on training fees. The company said its Material Handling Equipment business has already trained and certified more than 3,500 operators, and plans to upskill an additional 500 operators by FY26.

Anil Lingayat, Business Head, Material Handling Equipment business, Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “India’s manufacturing and logistics sectors are scaling at an unprecedented pace, but sustained growth depends on skilled, safety-trained manpower. Through the Forklift Training Center in Pune, we are creating a structured pipeline of certified operators who are job-ready and deeply aware of safety and compliance. At GEG, we see skill development as a critical enabler of productivity, workplace safety, and inclusive growth, and this initiative strengthens India’s industrial ecosystem.”
