MNRE to Host Global Wind Day 2026 Conference in Goa to Accelerate Wind Energy Growth

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) will host the Global Wind Day 2026 Conference in Goa on June 15, 2026, under the theme “Wind Energy: From Ambition to Acceleration.” The event will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, regulators, developers, and manufacturers to discuss strategies for accelerating wind energy deployment in India.

Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Shri Pralhad Joshi, and Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, are expected to attend the conference alongside senior officials from MNRE, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), Grid India, state governments, and industry associations.

The conference comes as India strengthens its position as the world’s fourth-largest wind power market, targeting 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035. Discussions will focus on resource adequacy, grid readiness, manufacturing competitiveness, export opportunities, forecasting technologies, and renewable energy integration.

Several industry reports and knowledge papers will be unveiled during the event, including a report on enhancing India’s wind turbine exports for global markets. Through plenary sessions and panel discussions, stakeholders will explore practical measures to accelerate project execution, strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities, and support India’s broader goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity while advancing toward net-zero emissions by 2070.
