• India launched its first dedicated Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management Portal named WT-MARUT.
• The portal was launched by Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi.
• WT-MARUT aims to strengthen India’s domestic wind energy manufacturing ecosystem.
• The initiative supports India’s transition towards clean and renewable energy.
• The portal was unveiled during the Global Wind Day Conference held in Goa.
• It has been developed under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
• The platform was created with support from the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA).
• WT-MARUT improves visibility across the wind energy supply chain.
• It helps manufacturers identify suppliers and streamline sourcing processes.
• The portal supports compliance with domestic sourcing requirements under the ALMM framework.
• It is expected to enhance collaboration among industry stakeholders.
• The platform will also improve India’s export readiness in the wind energy sector.
• India added a record 6.1 GW of wind power capacity during FY 2025–26.
• This represented a 46% increase over the previous financial year.
• India currently has more than 56.1 GW of installed wind energy capacity.
• The country is the fourth-largest wind energy market in the world.
• India’s estimated wind energy potential is around 1,164 GW.
• Only a small portion of this potential has been utilized so far.
• Wind turbine and component exports crossed ₹12,000 crore in FY 2025–26.
• Exports recorded nearly 50% growth compared to the previous year.
• India is projected to account for 10% of global wind turbine exports by 2030.
• The share could increase to 20% by 2040 according to industry projections.
• India currently possesses around 24 GW of annual wind manufacturing capacity.
• The country has strong capabilities in nacelles, blades, gearboxes and tower manufacturing.
• Experts estimate that India will require more than 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030.
• Wind energy is expected to play a crucial role in achieving India’s clean energy and net-zero targets.
