WT-MARUT Portal Launch Marks Major Push for India’s Wind Energy Sector

India has launched its first dedicated Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management Portal, WT-MARUT, to strengthen the domestic wind energy ecosystem. The initiative was unveiled by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi at the Global Wind Day Conference in Goa.

The portal has been developed under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with support from industry stakeholders. The move comes amid rising installations and growing global demand for wind energy components.

What Is WT-MARUT Portal And How Will It Help Wind Energy Sector?

WT-MARUT is a supply chain management portal designed to improve visibility and coordination across India’s wind energy ecosystem. It aims to support domestic manufacturing by enabling better supplier discovery and qualification processes.

The platform also facilitates compliance with the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework. By enhancing collaboration between stakeholders, the portal is expected to streamline operations and improve efficiency in the sector.

How Much Wind Energy Capacity Has India Added Recently?

India recorded significant growth in wind energy capacity additions during FY 2025-26. The country added 6.1 GW of wind capacity, marking a 46% increase compared to the previous year.

This represents the highest annual installation recorded to date. India’s total installed wind energy capacity now exceeds 56.1 GW, making it the fourth-largest wind energy market globally.

What Is India’s Wind Energy Potential and Future Demand?

India has substantial untapped wind energy potential estimated at around 1,164 GW. However, only a small portion of this capacity has been utilised so far.

According to projections by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), TERI, and NIWE, the country will require more than 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030. This expansion is expected to support India’s long-term clean energy and sustainability goals.

How Is India Performing in Global Wind Energy Exports?

India’s wind energy supply chain is gaining traction in global markets. Exports of wind turbines and related components crossed ₹12,000 crore in FY 2025-26, reflecting nearly 50% growth year-on-year.

A joint report by IWTMA and PwC indicates that India could account for 10% of global wind turbine exports by 2030. This share is projected to rise further to 20% by 2040, highlighting growing competitiveness.
