It’s here. Finally, a comprehensive platform that caters to the current needs of all stakeholder in the Wind & Hybrid Renewable Energy ecosystem. This mega showcase of India’s wind energy sector will have on display Central & State Government initiatives, besides foreign and Indian market-leaders highlighting the lastest technologies, equipment and solutions for the wind & related industries. Wind energy is crucial to India’s efforts in achieving 50% of its electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030 and net zero by 2070. The Government of India has fixed a target of 500 GW of Renewable Energy by 2030 out of which 140 GW will be from Wind. The National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), has installed over 900 wind-monitoring stations all over country and issued wind potential maps at 50m, 80m, 100m, 120m and 150m above ground level. The recent assessment indicates a gross wind power potential of 695.50 GW at 120 meter and 1163.9 GW at 150 meter above ground level. Less than 10% of India’s vast wind resource is tapped.

WIND RE INDIA has as its objectives to catalyse the country’s net-zero & COP targets by aiding:
● A Diversified & Synergized RE Portfolio
● Increased Wind Power Capacity Addition
● Sustainable Wind & Hybrid RE Generation
● Expansive Onshore & Offshore Installations
● Stakeholders’ Joint-ventures & Trade Tie-ups
● Higher Hub Heights & Bigger Rotor Diameters
● International Collaboration for De-carbonization
● Energy Security, Forex Savings, Employment Generation, etc.
The Modi Government over the last 10 years has taken the Policy Repowering (2016) and Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy (2018) further with the Offshore Wind Energy Policy to develop offshore wind energy in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) along the Indian coastline of 7600 km. The ambitious targets set forth in the National Electricity Policy (NEP), the renewable sector in general and wind energy in particular is poised for unprecedented growth. India set to boost wind energy capacity to 25 GW by 2028, with Rs. 2 Lakh Crore investment. This growth is driven by a shift from standalone wind projects to integrated “Wind-Solar” and “Wind-Solar-Battery” hybrid projects. These projects are designed to meet Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE), Round the Clock (RTC), and Peak Power (PP) demands. With an existing 45 GW of installed wind capacity (out of 190 GW of non-fossil renewable energy capacity), India aims to triple its wind capacity by 2030.
Key initiatives include setting a trajectory for Wind Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) up to 2030, waiver of Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for inter-state sale of solar and wind power for projects to be commissioned by June 30, 2025, and a tariff based transparent Competitive Bidding Process for power procurement from grid-connected projects, to enable the distribution licensees to procure RE power at competitive rates in a cost-effective manner. India boasts a domestic wind turbine assembly capacity of 15 GW, with two-thirds available for the burgeoning onshore wind market. The adoption of 3 to 4 MW+ rated Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) with 160 M hub height and rotor diameter, and carbon fiber / split blades, marks significant efficiency improvements for cost-optimal logistics.
The Government is promoting wind power projects in entire country through private sector investment by providing various fiscal and financial incentives such as Accelerated Depreciation benefit; concessional custom duty exemption on certain components of wind electric generators. In addition to fiscal and other incentives, the government has Issued Guidelines for Tariff Based Competitive Bidding Process for Procurement of Power from Grid Connected Wind Power Projects for standardization of the bidding process and defining of roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders. Technical support including wind resource assessment and identification of potential sites through the National Institute of Wind Energy is available.
