The institute provides modular training courses that are purposefully designed to be market driven and employment oriented across a wide range of skills especially in the power and allied sectors, to address the skill gap challenge faced by Indian power sector.

TPSDI also focuses on other dimensions of skill building, such as numerical ability, science, basic IT, industry orientation, communication, soft skills and personality development, work ethics, and places special emphasis on safety, health and environment considering the sector's specific need.

The training consists of both knowledge and hands-on skills. The Institute consciously works towards providing greater access to its courses to the members of disadvantaged sections of the society as part of its Affirmative Action Policy and also reach out to those in the below-poverty-line (BPL) category.

Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) this year introduced Skills on Wheels, a mobile concept to make skill trainings more accessible to people. It is essentially a 16 x 8 x 8.6 ft. mobile container designed to seat 12 trainees at a time. Through this 'Mobile' training and assessment centre, TPSDI will provide Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL); training and accreditation to neighbourhood electricians, etc. It is considering expanding the offering to more such courses.
