Wind Capacity and Manufacturing Growth
Key Government Interventions
Priorities for Wind Energy include:
Global Partnerships in Wind Energy
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
Setting the Stage: Marking Global Wind Day 2026
Global Wind Day is celebrated annually on June 15 to promote wind energy and its role in combating climate change. India will host the Global Wind Day 2026 Conference on 15 June 2026 in Goa, under the theme "Wind Energy: From Ambition to Acceleration." The conference will bring together senior representatives from 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, leading state governments, and industry bodies and associations.
The conference will spotlight key priorities shaping the next phase of India's wind energy journey, including resource adequacy, grid readiness, capacity addition, domestic manufacturing competitiveness, export opportunities, and advancements in forecasting and renewable energy firming. The conference will also witness the release of the industry report "Elevating India's Wind Turbine Exports for Global Markets.
India's Wind Energy Landscape
India's wind energy sector is expanding steadily with rising installed capacity and strong wind resource potential across key states. It is increasingly supported by domestic manufacturing and its role in meeting renewable energy targets.
Wind energy is becoming a more stable and integrated part of India's power system.
Its role will expand further with technological upgrades and diversified deployment.
Government priorities focus on expanding wind deployment, offshore development, and grid modernisation. These are supported by targeted schemes, financial incentives, and regulatory reforms.
India is strengthening wind energy cooperation with the UK, Denmark, and Belgium to accelerate sector development. These partnerships focus on offshore wind deployment, advanced technology transfer, and improved grid integration. They also enable knowledge sharing on policy design, financing models, and project execution.

The Road Ahead for Wind Energy
As India enters the next phase of its energy transition, wind power will play an increasingly important role in delivering reliable, affordable, and domestically sourced clean electricity. The country's extensive onshore and offshore wind resources provide a strong foundation for long-term growth, but realizing this opportunity will require faster project execution, stronger transmission infrastructure, improved forecasting capabilities, and continued policy support. By expanding into new geographies, integrating wind with storage and round-the-clock power solutions, and strengthening domestic manufacturing and export competitiveness, India can position wind energy not only as a key contributor to its climate and energy security goals, but also as a driver of industrial development and economic growth.
