Summary:

In FY26, India added 6.1 GW of wind generating capacity annually, a significant milestone in the country's journey toward renewable energy. The increase is a result of greater transmission infrastructure, supporting legislation, and a solid project pipeline, which all contribute to faster expansion. With this increase, the total installed wind capacity has surpassed 56 GW, solidifying India's standing as one of the world's top wind markets. According to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, India is on course to meet its non-fossil fuel targets by 2030 with 100 GW of wind power. By providing electricity during the peak evening demand, wind energy enhances solar power. This expansion helps India achieve its net-zero goal by 2070 and enhances grid stability and energy security. Momentum will be maintained by ongoing supply chain integration, investment, and governmental support.
