India’s Wind Energy Sector Set for 8 GW Installations in FY27

Chennai, October 8, 2026: India’s wind energy sector is entering a new phase of rapid growth, with annual installations projected to reach 8 GW in FY2026-27 and rise to 13.2 GW by FY2030-31. Cumulative wind capacity is expected to reach around 107 GW by 2030-31.

India currently has 59.2 GW of installed wind capacity, with another 43 GW under construction, providing visibility of more than 102 GW. The ₹1.86 lakh crore Green Energy Corridor Phase-III is expected to strengthen transmission infrastructure and support the integration of expanding renewable capacity.
