Key facts
- India aims for 100 GW of wind energy capacity by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035.
- The WT-MARUT portal was launched to strengthen the domestic wind manufacturing ecosystem.
- The portal aims to improve component sourcing visibility and supplier discovery.
- India added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity in FY 2025-26.
- India's current installed wind energy capacity is over 56.1 GW.
- Wind turbine exports exceeded Rs 12,000 crore in FY 2025-26.
India is setting ambitious targets for its wind energy sector, aiming for an installed capacity of 100 GW by 2030 and scaling up to 155 GW by 2035. This push is supported by the launch of WT-MARUT, a new digital portal designed to enhance the wind turbine supply chain, bolster domestic manufacturing, and improve India's global market position.
Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi announced these targets and the launch of the WT-MARUT portal during a 'Global Wind Day' conference in Goa. The portal is intended to provide visibility into component sourcing, support domestic sourcing requirements, facilitate supplier discovery, and strengthen collaboration across the supply chain, ultimately boosting exports.
The wind energy sector is seen as crucial for India's vision of self-reliance and its commitment to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070. India has already made significant strides, adding a record 6.1 GW of new wind power capacity in FY 2025-26, bringing its total installed capacity to over 56.1 GW. Despite this growth, less than 5% of the country's estimated wind energy potential has been tapped.
Industry stakeholders, including the IWTMA, project that India's annual wind installation capacity could reach 15 GW by 2030, with aspirations to capture 20% of the global wind supply chain opportunity by 2040. Exports of wind turbines and components have also seen substantial growth, crossing Rs 12,000 crore in FY 2025-26.
