India soon to be 3rd largest wind energy player
New Delhi - India is on track to become the third-largest wind energy producer globally, surpassing Germany by 2030, according to a senior government official. The nation aims to achieve a 107 GW wind capacity by 2030, with domestic turbine-making capacity expanding to 24 GW annually. The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association predicts a target of 100 GW by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035.
The shift towards wind energy is not merely about adding megawatts, but building an industrial ecosystem that creates skilled jobs, drives manufacturing exports, ensures energy security, and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. China currently leads with over 700 GW, followed by the US at more than 160 GW. India's wind equipment exports have nearly doubled to Rs 12,000 crore in FY2025-26, with the MNRE launching the WT-MARUT portal to position the country as a global wind export hub.
