India’s Wind Pipeline Signals Sharp Capacity and Manufacturing Surge
India is building many more wind farms to produce clean electricity.
About 43 GW of wind projects are currently under construction.
The country added a record 6.05 GW of wind power in FY26.
Its total wind capacity reached 58.14 GW by July 31, 2026.
India wants to reach about 100 GW by 2030.
Factories in India can now make 24 GW of wind turbines each year.
These factories use mostly parts and value created inside India.
Wind equipment exports also grew to more than Rs 12,000 crore in FY26.
India has 43 GW of wind projects under construction, supporting a projected acceleration in capacity additions.
Wind capacity reached 58.14 GW after a record 6.05 GW was added in FY26.
The sector is targeting approximately 100 GW by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035.
Domestic turbine manufacturing capacity has more than doubled to 24 GW annually, with 70–80% local value addition.
Wind equipment exports rose nearly 50% in FY26 to more than Rs 12,000 crore.
- Who
