Pralhad Joshi, Minister of New and Renewable Energy, launched India’s first dedicated wind turbine supply chain management portal, WT-MARUT, on Monday. Its objective is to strengthen the domestic wind manufacturing ecosystem and support the country’s clean energy transition.
This portal was launched at the ‘Global Wind Day Conference’ in Goa. The conference was organized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in collaboration with industry bodies such as the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), the Wind Independent Power Producers Association (WIPPA), and the Indian Wind Power Association (IWPA).
According to the Ministry, the WT-MARUT portal has been developed under the aegis of the MNRE and in collaboration with the IWTMA. It is designed to enhance transparency in the wind energy supply chain, assist in meeting domestic sourcing requirements under the ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) framework, facilitate supplier discovery and qualification assessment, strengthen collaboration among stakeholders, and improve export readiness.
This launch comes amidst tremendous growth in India’s wind energy sector. The country added a record 6.1 GW of wind power capacity during the 2025-26 fiscal year—a 46 percent increase over the previous year and the highest annual wind installation to date.
India currently has an installed wind energy capacity of over 56.1 GW, making it the fourth-largest wind energy market in the world. However, only a very small fraction of the country’s estimated 1,164 GW wind energy potential has been utilized.
A report released by IWTMA and PwC at the conference highlighted India’s growing presence in the global wind energy supply chain. According to the report, exports of wind turbines and associated components crossed the ₹12,000 crore mark in the 2025-26 fiscal year, representing an increase of approximately 50 percent compared to the previous fiscal year.
The report estimates that India could capture a 10 percent share of global wind turbine exports by 2030 and a 20 percent share by 2040.
According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), and the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), India will need more than 100 GW of wind power capacity by 2030 to ensure a clean, reliable, and affordable energy future.
Speaking at the event, IWTMA Chairman Girish Tanti stated that wind energy would continue to play a pivotal role in India’s clean energy journey and net-zero goals.
