Wind Energy Boom Could Make India World’s Third-Largest Producer
What Happened
India is on track to overtake Germany and become the world’s third-largest wind energy producer before 2030, according to MNRE Joint Secretary Rajesh Kulhari. India’s installed wind capacity currently stands at 58 GW, compared with Germany’s 77 GW, and is projected to exceed 107 GW by 2030. China and the US remain the top two wind energy markets globally.
Key Takeaways
The milestone would strengthen India’s clean energy transition, boost domestic manufacturing and exports, improve energy security, and support the country’s long-term renewable energy goals. India’s wind equipment exports have already crossed ₹12,000 crore, reflecting the sector’s growing global relevance.
