EPLAN Electric P8 Training in Aurangabad 2026: Course Details, Fees and Career Scope (Updated September 2026) (Updated September 2026)
The good news is that EPLAN Electric P8 is one of those rare software skills where local demand in Aurangabad is genuine and growing — not a vague "it's useful nationally" claim. With the AURIC industrial township attracting ₹71,343 crore of investment and 62,405 jobs into Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, manufacturers like Skoda VW (Shendra, Plot A-1/1), Bajaj Auto (Waluj, Plot G-137), and Hyosung (₹3,000 cr Bidkin plant) increasingly require electrical engineers who can design, document, and review control panel schematics in EPLAN — because their suppliers and parent companies run EPLAN-based workflows. This guide covers everything about EPLAN Electric P8 training in Aurangabad for 2026: what the software actually does, what the course teaches, what it costs, and which companies will hire you.

What Is EPLAN Electric P8 and Why Do Aurangabad Manufacturers Require It?
EPLAN Electric P8 is professional electrical CAD software used to design, document, and manage electrical control systems — every schematic, terminal diagram, PLC wiring layout, and parts list for a factory machine or control panel is created and maintained in EPLAN P8 at any serious manufacturing company. What makes it different from AutoCAD Electrical is the intelligence: EPLAN P8 understands the electrical logic behind your drawings — if you connect a motor incorrectly, it flags it; if you need a bill of materials, it generates it automatically from the schematic data, not from manual typing. European and Japanese OEMs (Volkswagen, Siemens, Bosch, Hyosung) standardised on EPLAN globally, which is why Skoda VW's Shendra plant and Hyosung's Bidkin facility both require their Tier-1 suppliers in AURIC to work in EPLAN format. That requirement has trickled down to every panel builder, machine manufacturer, and automation company in Aurangabad's industrial belt.
What Does an EPLAN Electric P8 Training Course Actually Cover?
An EPLAN Electric P8 training course in 2026 covers four core areas: project setup and page navigation; component placement and schematic creation; terminal and cable documentation; and automated report generation including parts lists and connection diagrams. Here is what a good EPLAN P8 curriculum looks like at a practical level:
Module 1 — EPLAN fundamentals: The EPLAN project structure, page types (schematic, overview, terminal diagram, panel layout), symbol libraries, and drawing standards. You'll create your first control circuit — a star-delta motor starter — from scratch.
Module 2 — Schematic design: Placing functional components (contactors, relays, switches, sensors), writing device tags, assigning cross-references automatically, and creating multi-page schematics for a complete panel.
Module 3 — Terminal and cable management: Creating terminal strips, assigning cable routes, generating cable lists automatically — the exact output that a control panel wiring team needs on the factory floor.
Module 4 — Reports and export: Auto-generating BOMs (bills of materials), parts lists, connection diagrams, and PDF/DXF exports that engineering teams review and approve. This is what saves 60–70% of documentation time vs manual methods.
| Course Module | What You Learn | Duration | Target Job Role |

EPLAN Electric P8 vs AutoCAD Electrical: Which Should Aurangabad Engineers Learn?
If your target companies in Aurangabad are in the automotive/European OEM supply chain (Skoda VW, Hyosung, Bajaj Tier-1 panel builders), learn EPLAN Electric P8; if your target is government projects, PSU electrical contractors, or general panel builders outside European supply chains, AutoCAD Electrical is more widely used and easier to find jobs with initially. Here is the honest comparison:
| Factor | EPLAN Electric P8 | AutoCAD Electrical |
|---|---|---|
| Primary user base | European OEMs, automotive MNCs, machine builders | Broad — government, PSU, contractors, general industry |
| Aurangabad demand | Growing — AURIC/Shendra supply chain | Wider, more jobs available overall |
| Learning curve | Steeper — object-oriented approach | Easier — CAD-based, familiar to AutoCAD users |
| Salary premium | Higher — fewer trained candidates | Standard — more competition |
| Recommendation | If you can, learn BOTH — AutoCAD Electrical first (2 months), then EPLAN P8 (2 months). You become the most hireable combination in Aurangabad's industrial belt. | |

FAQs
What is EPLAN Electric P8 and is it different from AutoCAD Electrical?
EPLAN Electric P8 is professional electrical CAD software specifically built for intelligent electrical engineering — it links schematic symbols to real component data, auto-generates reports (BOMs, terminal diagrams, cable lists) and enforces electrical rules; AutoCAD Electrical is drawing-based, meaning it draws electrical schematics without the intelligence layer. In practice: an EPLAN P8 schematic contains data, not just lines — which is why European OEMs like Volkswagen and Siemens mandate EPLAN format for all suppliers. AutoCAD Electrical is more widely used in India overall but EPLAN commands a premium salary in companies with European supply chain ties.
Which companies in Aurangabad hire EPLAN Electric P8 trained engineers?
In Aurangabad and the AURIC/Waluj belt, the primary hirers of EPLAN-trained electrical engineers are Skoda Volkswagen India (Shendra, Plot A-1/1), Bajaj Auto's Tier-1 panel suppliers (Waluj MIDC, Plot G-137 area), Endurance Technologies (E-92), Hyosung Bidkin (₹3,000 cr plant), and Lubrizol Waluj (₹1,680 cr facility). These companies either use EPLAN themselves or require their direct suppliers to deliver EPLAN-format documentation, creating consistent demand for trained local engineers. Ather Energy's Bidkin plant and Toyota Kirloskar AURIC suppliers are also growing demand as Phase 2 expansion continues.
Is ABC Trainings the best institute for EPLAN training in Aurangabad compared to other options?
ABC Trainings is the only institute in Aurangabad offering EPLAN P8 as part of a comprehensive Industry 4.0 + automation curriculum (alongside PLC Siemens S7 and AutoCAD Electrical), with two city centres (Osmanpura and CIDCO Naka), weekend batch options, and active placement referrals to AURIC and Waluj MIDC companies. Other options in Aurangabad include private coaching classes that teach AutoCAD Electrical but typically not EPLAN P8, and online platforms (EPLAN's own e-ACADEMY) that provide software knowledge but no local placement support. The combination of EPLAN P8 classroom training, PLC basics, and direct AURIC company connections is ABC Trainings' practical advantage for Aurangabad-based students.
What is the EPLAN Electric P8 course fee at ABC Trainings Aurangabad in 2026?
EPLAN Electric P8 is covered as a module within the 'Industry 4.0 with AI & Industrial Automation' track at ABC Trainings Aurangabad; the all-in course fee depends on your batch type and duration — call +91 7039169629 or WhatsApp 7774002496 for the current fee structure. CMYKPY government stipend (₹6,000–₹10,000/month for eligible Maharashtra freshers) can offset training costs significantly. EMI options are also available. The fee for just the EPLAN P8 module vs the full automation track varies — the counselling team will explain both options based on your electrical engineering background and career target.
