“India has made significant strides in wind energy capacity, having nearly doubled in just five years to reach around 54 GW of installed capacity. To sustain this momentum towards 100 GW by 2030, we need to focus equally on manufacturing depth and supply chain resilience,” according to Saravanan Manickam, Vice Chairman cum Secretary, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association.“Tamil Nadu’s role in this journey has been significant, and India has made commendable progress in indigenisation, with domestic value addition now estimated at 70-80%, but strengthening capability in high-value components such as gearboxes, specialised bearings, and permanent magnet materials will be critical to closing the remaining gap and building a truly self-reliant wind manufacturing ecosystem,” he added.The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) and PDA Ventures Pvt Ltd with the support of the Ministry of Power and MNRE will organize Windergy India 2026. The conference will be held from October 7-9, 2026 at the Chennai Trade Centre. The event will bring together over 20,000 people, 400 delegates and 350 exhibitors from over 30 countries. “Windergy India, international trade fair and conference, has grown into a platform that brings the entire wind ecosystem together. As India works towards its capacity targets, we will keep doing our part to give this industry the platform it needs to connect and grow,” said Pradeep Devaiah, Chairman & CEO, PDA Ventures Pvt Ltd.
