IWTMA Backs 100 GW Wind Goal by 2030, Supports ‘Make in India'
India’s wind energy sector has reaffirmed its commitment to the national renewable energy goals, pledging support to achieve 100 GW of wind power capacity by 2030.

“The Indian wind industry is fully aligned with the government’s clean energy vision. We are investing in capacity, technology innovation, and workforce development to achieve 100 GW of wind energy by 2030,” said Aditya Pyasi, CEO, IWTMA.
India currently has over 18 GW of annual domestic manufacturing capacity for wind turbines and components. Leading players, including Suzlon, Nordex, Windar, Senvion, Envision, Siemens Gamesa, Flender, ZF Wind Power, Aditya Birla Advanced Materials, Vestas, GE Vernova, and Inox Wind, manufacture critical parts—blades, nacelles, gearboxes, generators, and towers—within the country. This strong value chain supports both domestic demand and India’s emergence as a potential global export hub for wind equipment.
Wind energy is also set to become a major employment generator. Renewable sector hiring is expected to grow by 19 percent in FY25, with wind power contributing thousands of jobs across manufacturing, installation, operations, and maintenance. Notably, over 55 percent of the workforce is between 26 and 35 years old, positioning wind as a future-focused employer for young Indians.
With India now the fourth-largest renewable energy generator in the world, wind power plays a key role in ensuring grid stability. As it complements solar energy by generating power during non-solar hours, wind helps provide reliable, round-the-clock green electricity at affordable rates.
IWTMA also stressed the need for continued policy support, streamlined regulations, and improvements in infrastructure and testing facilities to realise the sector’s full potential.
“With strong policy support and a future-ready industrial base, India’s wind industry is poised to power the next chapter of our green growth story. Wind energy is not just clean energy—it’s a national economic driver,” Aditya from IWTMA added.
