EPLAN P8 Course in Aurangabad 2026: Electrical Panel Design Training for AURIC and Sambhajinagar Engineers

EPLAN P8 Course in Aurangabad 2026: Electrical Panel Design Training for AURIC and Sambhajinagar Engineers (Updated August 2026)

EPLAN P8 is the electrical CAD software that Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Bosch, and Hyosung require on every electrical engineer hire in their Indian facilities — including Hyosung's ₹3,000 crore AURIC plant in Sambhajinagar. The question is not whether to learn EPLAN if you want a serious electrical engineering role in AURIC or Sambhajinagar — it is where to learn it properly. ABC Trainings CIDCO (N-1, Kalpana Plaza, opposite Eiffel Tower) runs EPLAN P8 training in weekday and weekend batches with licensed software, CMYKPY government stipend eligibility, and placement support into the AURIC industrial corridor. Here is everything you need to know.

What EPLAN P8 Does and Why AURIC Employers Require It

EPLAN P8 (Electric P8) is a database-driven electrical CAD platform — unlike AutoCAD Electrical, which is a drawing tool with electrical add-ons, EPLAN P8 manages your entire project as a connected database. Every wire, terminal, component, and cable has attributes; when you change a component, every cross-reference, terminal schedule, and BOM updates automatically. This is why large manufacturers and panel builders — Siemens, ABB, Hyosung, Bosch — use EPLAN: a 500-panel project cannot be managed manually, and IEC 61082 compliance requires the documentation accuracy that only a database-driven system can guarantee. For engineers in Aurangabad and Sambhajinagar targeting AURIC manufacturers, EPLAN P8 is the single highest-value electrical software skill. The AURIC industrial corridor's heavy electrical equipment manufacturers (Hyosung) and automotive Tier-1 companies (Endurance Technologies, Bajaj Auto's electrical divisions) all use it.

EPLAN P8 Course Syllabus at ABC Trainings Aurangabad: What You Learn in Each Phase

The EPLAN P8 course at ABC Trainings Aurangabad covers the complete workflow from project creation to documentation delivery. Phase 1 — Project Setup and Basics (Weeks 1–3): Project structure, page types, symbol libraries, component databases, basic schematic drawing, and navigation. You draw your first single-line main incoming circuit. Phase 2 — Full Schematic Design (Weeks 4–7): Multi-line schematics, PLC I/O planning, motor starter circuits, safety circuits, terminal diagram generation, and automatic cross-referencing. Live project: a 3-panel industrial control cabinet.

AURIC and Sambhajinagar Companies That Hire EPLAN-Certified Electrical Engineers

The AURIC corridor and Sambhajinagar industrial zone have 12+ companies that actively require EPLAN P8 from electrical engineers: 1. Hyosung India, AURIC Bidkin (₹3,000 crore): Largest electrical equipment plant in AURIC. Transformer and switchgear documentation teams use EPLAN P8 exclusively. Multiple annual electrical engineer intakes. 2. Bajaj Auto Electrical Division, Waluj (Plot G-137): Internal panel design for production line automation uses EPLAN. Bajaj's Waluj campus employs 8,000+ — electrical engineering is a significant function. 3. Endurance Technologies (E-92, AURIC-adjacent MIDC): Tier-1 automotive — electrical panel documentation for production line control systems. 4. Local panel fabrication companies, Aurangabad MIDC: 60+ registered panel shops in Aurangabad MIDC and Waluj MIDC. These are the fastest first-job entry points for EPLAN graduates — junior EPLAN draughtsmen hired directly after training. 5. Siemens SI and ABB resellers, Sambhajinagar: System integrators who supply panel solutions to AURIC manufacturers hire EPLAN engineers for project documentation roles.

EPLAN P8 vs AutoCAD Electrical: Which Should You Learn First in Aurangabad?

AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN P8 are not competitors — they target different job markets. AutoCAD Electrical is the right first choice if you want a broad entry into the electrical job market: panel shops, small integrators, government projects, and mid-market manufacturing all use it. EPLAN P8 is the right choice if you specifically target large OEMs, Tier-1 manufacturers, or panel shops that supply those OEMs — Hyosung, Siemens, ABB, Bosch. In Aurangabad specifically, the AURIC corridor is pulling the market toward EPLAN faster than in most Indian cities: Hyosung's EPLAN requirement alone has increased local demand for certified engineers by an estimated 30% since 2024. If you have already done AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN P8 is the natural next step and takes 40% less time to learn because the electrical design logic is the same — only the interface and database structure are new. If you are starting from zero, AutoCAD Electrical first (2 months) then EPLAN (2.5 months) is the recommended path at ABC Trainings.

CMYKPY (CM Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana, active August 2026, ₹5,500 crore budget) covers electrical design and automation training including EPLAN P8 at enrolled institutes — eligible Maharashtra residents receive ₹6,000–₹10,000/month stipend during training. PMKVY 4.0 covers electrical/automation fees at zero cost for eligible ITI and diploma holders.

FAQs

What is the difference between EPLAN P8 and AutoCAD Electrical?

EPLAN P8 is a database-driven electrical CAD platform — every component, wire, terminal, and cable is a connected database record, so reports (BOM, terminal schedules, cable lists) generate automatically and stay in sync when you make changes. AutoCAD Electrical is a drawing tool with electrical add-ons — faster to learn, wider job market, but requires manual report management on large projects. EPLAN P8 is mandatory at Tier-1 OEMs and large panel shops (Siemens, ABB, Hyosung). AutoCAD Electrical is standard at mid-market companies and smaller integrators. Learn AutoCAD Electrical first for the widest entry, then add EPLAN P8 for AURIC-tier employers.

Which companies in Aurangabad AURIC require EPLAN P8 certification?

Hyosung India (AURIC Bidkin, ₹3,000 crore plant) is the largest EPLAN employer in the Aurangabad region. Bajaj Auto's electrical and automation division (Waluj, Plot G-137) uses EPLAN for production line panel documentation. Endurance Technologies (E-92 AURIC) and local system integrators that supply to AURIC manufacturers also require it. 60+ panel fabrication companies in Aurangabad MIDC and Waluj MIDC hire junior EPLAN engineers — these are the fastest first-job entry points.

What is the EPLAN P8 course fee at ABC Trainings Cidco Aurangabad?

Contact the CIDCO centre at 7039169629 for the current fee schedule — rates are updated each semester. The CMYKPY scheme pays eligible Maharashtra residents ₹6,000–₹10,000 per month during approved training, which typically covers the EPLAN P8 course fee entirely. PMKVY 4.0 covers electrical and automation training at zero cost for eligible ITI and diploma holders. The counsellor checks your eligibility in your first meeting at no charge.

Can a diploma holder in electrical engineering learn EPLAN P8 at ABC Trainings?

Yes — a diploma in electrical or electronics engineering is the standard entry qualification for the EPLAN P8 course at ABC Trainings. You need to understand basic electrical circuits (contactors, relays, fuses, motor starters) before the schematic design phase makes sense. If you have completed ITI in electrician or wireman trade, you have sufficient background for the course. No prior CAD software experience is required — the course begins with EPLAN interface setup. Diploma holders also typically qualify for PMKVY 4.0 zero-fee training.
