IWTMA Stresses Wind Energy, Hybrid Projects, and Policy Support at India Energy Week 2026

The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) showcased its perspective on India’s clean energy transition at India Energy Week 2026, with its Chief Executive Officer Aditya Pyasi participating as a panelist in a high-level leadership discussion on the future of the country’s renewable energy ecosystem.

Pyasi took part in the leadership spotlight session titled, “The Solar and Wind Opportunity: Realising the Dual Potential of Scaling India’s Renewables Outlook” at the Transition Stage, alongside senior leaders from the global renewable energy value chain. The session focused on accelerating renewable capacity addition, strengthening domestic manufacturing, improving grid readiness, and leveraging technology to meet India’s clean energy ambitions.

Addressing the panel, Pyasi said energy security has become central in the current geopolitical environment, adding that policy acts as India’s first line of defence. He noted that the Ministry of Renewable Energy has taken key steps to promote indigenisation of renewable manufacturing despite existing policy constraints and stressed the need to further empower government bodies to build an energy-secure nation with a stable grid in an Atmanirbhar manner.

He further highlighted that India’s expanding manufacturing base, supported by favourable policies and digitalisation, has strengthened its position in the global renewable supply chain. Pyasi added that the industry is increasingly collaborating with the European Union and, under the EU Free Trade Agreement, is progressing towards sustainable manufacturing.

Emphasising the importance of diversification, Pyasi said India’s renewable transition cannot rely solely on solar power. Wind energy, he noted, is critical for delivering round-the-clock clean electricity, improving grid stability, and optimising land and transmission use. He added that policy certainty, timely grid expansion and storage integration would be crucial for scaling wind–solar hybrid models.

The panel discussion underlined India’s emergence as a renewable energy powerhouse, driven by falling technology costs, rising investment and ambitious capacity targets for 2030. Participants also discussed the role of hybrid projects, energy storage and advanced forecasting technologies in enabling large-scale renewable deployment.

India Energy Week 2026, organised under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and jointly hosted by FIPI and dmg events, brings together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators from across the world to chart pathways towards a secure and sustainable energy future.

IWTMA said that its participation reflects its commitment to expanding wind energy adoption, strengthening domestic manufacturing and contributing to policy dialogue aligned with India’s long-term decarbonisation and energy security goals.
