Thematic Report

PowerPoint Presentation
The current order book of wind OEMs has surpassed their annual
manufacturing capacities, leading to favourable prospects for the
manufacturers. The strong order book position is expected to result in healthy
revenue and profitability for the major OEMs, driven by increased capacity
utilisation.
Strong policy
support is in place for wind turbines and turbine components to promote
domestic wind turbine manufacturing, as evident through the approved list of
models and manufacturers (ALMM). The ALMM for wind turbines was issued on
December 02, 2025, while the list for wind turbine components will be issued by
the ministry separately.
The current
wind turbine manufacturing capacity in India stands at ~18-20 GW. The capacity
utilisation of listed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) is expected to
increase to ~55-60% from the current levels of ~30-35%, given the healthy order
book. Notwithstanding this, the challenges pertaining to land acquisition,
right of way and transmission connectivity delays for wind capacity addition
could impact execution timelines for the OEMs.
