India Highlights Wind Energy's Pivotal Role
India is pushing hard to get more electricity from the wind.
They want to use more wind and solar power to make things here in India.
The government is also giving more money to help.
The minister said that they need to make sure the wind power is available all the time, be cheaper, and make the parts in India.
They are building many types of wind turbines, and this is a big part of their plan to have a cleaner and more reliable source of energy in the future.
India is already a big player in renewable energy and is working to become a global manufacturing hub.
Wind energy is central to India's renewable energy strategy, according to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi.
India aims for 50% of its power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
The minister highlighted the need for round-the-clock power, competitive tariffs, and efficient domestic manufacturing.
The renewable energy budget increased by 53% to Rs 26,549 crore, with a significant portion allocated to wind.
India manufactures wind turbines from 225 kW to 5.2 MW, with 33 models produced by 14 companies.
