IWTMA Highlights Wind–Bioenergy Synergy for India’s Green Hydrogen and Energy Security Goals

The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA)  curated a panel discussion on ‘Wind–Bioenergy Collaboration for Green Hydrogen and Energy Security’ at the Bioenergy, Biofuels & Biomaterials (BBB) & India EnergyX Expo & Summit 2026 held at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, as an Association Partner, where policymakers, regulators and industry leaders discussed the role of community-centric renewable energy development in accelerating India’s energy transition. The session focused on strengthening the convergence between wind energy and bioenergy while addressing structural and execution-related challenges across the sector.

During the discussions, CEEW highlighted the significant long-term opportunity emerging from India’s bioenergy ecosystem, projecting nearly 600,000 jobs, close to USD 28 billion in investments and an estimated USD 12 billion annual market opportunity by 2047. Industry stakeholders noted that integrating decentralised bioenergy solutions with large-scale renewable energy projects could play an important role in strengthening local participation while supporting India’s broader energy security goals.

The panel also highlighted the need for more integrated project development frameworks to address ongoing challenges related to land acquisition, connectivity and project execution timelines. Discussions further emphasised the importance of expanding wind development beyond traditional states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka, with Odisha, West Bengal and the North-East emerging as promising future markets.

Speaking during the session, Dr. Prabir Kumar Dash, Director and Scientist E, MNRE, Government of India, highlighted the importance of disciplined and structured renewable energy development supported by stronger domestic manufacturing capabilities and broader geographic diversification to sustain India’s clean energy growth trajectory.

Speaking on the discussions at the summit, Aditya Pyasi, CEO, IWTMA, said, “India’s renewable energy transition must be built on both scale and inclusivity. As wind energy projects continue to expand, stronger community participation and more integrated execution models will become critical for sustainable growth. The discussions at BBB Summit reinforced the importance of aligning policy, infrastructure and local stakeholder engagement to unlock the next phase of renewable energy development in India.”
