India has set a target of 155 GW of installed wind energy capacity by 2035

¨     India has set a target of 155 GW of installed wind energy capacity by 2035.

¨     The country has an interim target of 100 GW by 2030.

¨     As of 15 June 2026, India’s installed wind energy capacity has exceeded 56.1 GW.

¨     Wind energy is a renewable energy source that uses wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of wind into electricity.

¨     India is the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market by installed capacity.

¨     India added 6.1 GW of new wind energy capacity during FY 2025–26, a 46% year-on-year increase.

¨     WT-MARUT stands for Wind Turbine Materials and Resources Utility Tracker.

¨     The WT-MARUT Portal was launched on 15 June 2026 as India’s first dedicated digital platform for managing the wind energy supply chain.

¨     The portal supports supplier discovery, domestic manufacturing, and supply-chain transparency.

¨     India’s wind energy policy gives priority to local sourcing over imports for wind turbine components.

¨     Major wind turbine components include blades, towers, nacelles, gearboxes, generators, and control systems.

¨     Domestic manufacturing of these components is expected to strengthen India’s renewable energy manufacturing ecosystem and industrial capacity.
