Indian wind industry overview
India eyes global wind energy supply chain opportunities as it targets growth in capacity additions. India has prioritized renewable energy, including wind power, in its long-term vision for transformation of wind sector that experienced a slowdown in capacity additions in the recent past.
India’s Central Electricity Authority (CEA) projects electricity demand to grow 75% by 2031-32 from 2021-22 levels, and 170% by 2041–42. Demand is projected to increase by more than 90% in four out of the eight windiest states by the start of the next decade. The World Energy Outlook 2022 estimates demand to triple between 2021 and 2050.
Renewable energy (excluding large hydro) already represents nearly 30% of India’s installed power generation capacity, at 410 GW, with 10% of this capacity being wind energy. The combined impact of economic growth, net-zero goals and burgeoning electricity demand will result in a rapid increase in the share of renewable energy in the power generation mix. For wind power, India’s target is to achieve a cumulative 140 GW of capacity by 2030.
In 2022, India awarded 2.25 GW of standalone and 2.45 GW of hybrid wind capacity through auctions. It commissioned a total of 1.8 GW of onshore wind power capacity. Recent policy reforms are likely to further boost demand for wind power and accelerate capacity additions over the coming years.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has outlined a wind-specific renewable purchase obligation (RPO) trajectory upto 2030, with an annual target of an 8 GW onshore wind tender every year between 2023 and 2030 based on a single-stage two-envelope bid system.
The plan is to harness the massive wind energy potential of eight windy states. Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. To support the development of power evacuation and transmission infrastructure, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has published its transmission planning report for the integration of renewable energy, including 58 GW of wind energy – of which 10 GW is offshore Tamil Nadu and Gujarat – to the Inter-State- Transmission-System (ISTS) by 2030.
ICICI research report estimate market growth at 35% CAGR. On the back of various policy actions, industrial demand and more round-the-clock contracts, wind industry is set to turn the corner and wind installations are projected at 3.5GW and 4.5GW for FY24E/FY25E (vs 2.2GW in FY23).
