Union Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi Launches India’s First Digital Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management Portal, Paving the Way for a 155 GW Wind Energy Future by 2035

The Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy and Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Shri Pralhad Joshi, today launched the Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management (WT-MARUT) Portal at the Global Wind Day Conference held in Goa. The initiative marks India’s first dedicated digital platform aimed at streamlining wind energy supply chain management and strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.

The conference was organized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with support from key industry bodies, including the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), Wind Independent Power Producers Association (WIPPA), and Indian Wind Power Association (IWPA). The WT-MARUT portal has been developed under MNRE in collaboration with IWTMA.

The newly launched platform is designed to enhance visibility across component sourcing, support domestic procurement under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework, facilitate supplier discovery and qualification, and improve collaboration across the wind energy value chain. It will also strengthen export readiness and ensure secure data hosting within India, contributing to a more integrated and resilient supply ecosystem.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Pralhad Joshi said the initiative reflects India’s commitment to building a resilient, self-reliant wind energy ecosystem under the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. He expressed confidence that the sector will achieve 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035, noting that platforms like WT-MARUT will enhance supply chain transparency and global competitiveness.

Highlighting sector growth, the minister noted that India added a record 6.1 GW of wind capacity in FY 2025–26, registering 46% year-on-year growth. With a total installed capacity of over 56.1 GW, India has become the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market, though it has currently tapped less than 5% of its estimated 1,164 GW wind potential. Industry stakeholders, including CEA, TERI, and NIWE, have emphasized the need to reach 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030 to support a sustainable and affordable energy transition.

Girish Tanti, Chairman of IWTMA, said Global Wind Day serves as a reminder to accelerate collective action across the sector. He noted that wind energy remains one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly renewable technologies and will be central to India’s target of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.

He further added that India, with an annual manufacturing capacity of around 24 GW and strong capabilities in nacelles, gearboxes, blades, and towers, is well positioned to scale annual installations to 15 GW by 2030 and capture nearly 20% of the global wind supply chain opportunity by 2040.
