Industry Odisha Bureau, Sep 2: India is expected to become the world’s third-largest wind-energy producer by surpassing Germany before 2030. India is targeting more than 107 gigawatts of installed wind capacity by 2030. India’s renewable energy transition extends beyond simply adding generation capacity to building industrial ecosystems.
India currently maintains approximately 58 gigawatts of installed wind-energy capacity after surpassing Brazil. Germany, ranked third in global wind-energy rankings today, maintains 77 gigawatts of capacity. China leads the world with nearly 700 gigawatts of installed wind-energy capacity currently. The United States ranks second globally with more than 160 gigawatts of capacity.
A senior government official articulated India’s clear trajectory toward exceeding 107 gigawatts by 2030. The wind industry has simultaneously defined a pathway reaching 100 gigawatts by 2030. The sector aims to achieve 155 gigawatts of installed capacity by the year 2035.
India’s domestic wind-turbine manufacturing capacity has grown significantly from 10 gigawatts in 2014. The sector currently produces 24 gigawatts annually of domestically manufactured wind-turbine capacity today. Domestic value addition in wind manufacturing consistently reaches 70 to 80 percent of total production.
India’s wind equipment exports exceeded 12,000 crore rupees in financial year 2025-26 recently. These exports demonstrated remarkable momentum with approximately 50 percent growth over the prior year. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has launched WT-MARUT, the supply-chain portal.
India’s wind expansion directly supports broader energy-security objectives and reduces fossil-fuel dependence significantly. Skilled employment creation and industrial ecosystem development form core elements of this expansion. Industry collaboration among manufacturers, developers, policymakers, and innovators remains essential for target achievement.
Windergy India 2026, the sector’s flagship conference, convenes from October 7 through October 9. The event will be held at the Chennai Trade Centre in southern India. The conference brings together more than 20,000 attendees and 350 exhibitors from 30+ countries.
India’s wind-energy story increasingly extends beyond capacity additions to developing complete industrial ecosystems. The surpassing of Germany would represent an important milestone in India’s wind-energy progression. India is establishing itself as both a rapid-deployment market and export hub globally.
