India’s wind energy sector is entering a phase of rapid acceleration, with annual installations projected to reach 8 GW in FY26-27 and scale up to 13.2 GW by FY30-31. This ambitious trajectory is expected to push the country's cumulative installed capacity to approximately 107 GW.
The announcement was made during the Windergy India 2026 flagship event, organized by the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA). The roadmap highlights a significant surge in capacity, building upon the current 59.2 GW of installed capacity and an additional 43 GW currently under construction.
A Massive Pipeline for Renewable Energy
The visibility of projects across 102.2 GW of total capacity provides a solid foundation for sustained expansion. This growth is being supported by large-scale infrastructure developments, including the Rs 1.86 lakh crore Green Energy Corridor Phase-III, which aims to integrate higher volumes of renewable energy into the national grid. This initiative is vital for India's broader goal of achieving 900 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2035.
Union Minister for New & Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, noted that the sector has already shown incredible momentum. He highlighted that FY26 saw the highest-ever annual installation of 6.05 GW, a record that is expected to be surpassed in FY27.
“We are confident that annual wind installations will surpass this record in FY27, marking another important milestone in India’s wind energy journey,” Joshi stated. He added that this growth is essential to meeting the national ambition of 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030.
Projected Growth Roadmap
The industry expects a steady and incremental climb in annual installations and cumulative capacity over the coming years:
- FY27-28: 9.0 GW annual installations (62.4 GW cumulative)
- FY28-29: 10.0 GW annual installations (71.4 GW cumulative)
- FY29-30: 12.0 GW annual installations (81.4 GW cumulative)
- FY30-31: 13.2 GW annual installations (93.4 GW cumulative)
India Aiming to Become a Global Wind Turbine Hub
Beyond domestic consumption, India is looking to significantly expand its global footprint. IWTMA Chairman Girish Tanti revealed that manufacturing capacity has grown from 12 GW in FY23 to over 24 GW annually. Furthermore, exports reached Rs 12,800 crore during FY2025-26, representing a nearly 50% year-on-year increase.
“Our ambition should be to raise India’s share of global wind turbine exports from ~2% today to 10% by 2030,” Tanti said, aiming to establish India as a global hub for turbines, components, and technology.
As the industry transitions toward higher-rated turbines, IWTMA CEO Aditya Pyasi emphasized the need for a robust domestic ecosystem. He noted that accelerating indigenization of critical components and strengthening supply chains will be essential to meet the growing demand and support the next phase of growth.
