Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, on Monday launched the Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management (WT-MARUT) Portal, India’s first dedicated digital platform for managing the wind energy supply chain.
Developed under the aegis of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with support from the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, the WT-MARUT portal is designed to enhance supply chain visibility, streamline component sourcing, and support domestic procurement requirements under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework.
The platform will facilitate supplier discovery and qualification, strengthen collaboration among industry stakeholders, improve export readiness, and ensure secure hosting of industry data within India, according to IWTMA.
The portal was unveiled during the Global Wind Day Conference held in Goa.
Speaking at the launch, Joshi said that as India enters its next phase of economic and industrial growth, unlocking global opportunities will be crucial. He noted that initiatives such as the WT-MARUT portal will strengthen supply chain transparency, boost domestic manufacturing capabilities, and enhance India’s competitiveness in international wind energy markets.
The launch comes amid strong momentum in India’s wind energy sector. The country added a record 6.1 GW of new wind power capacity during FY26, the highest annual installation achieved so far, representing a 46 per cent year-on-year increase.
With an installed wind power capacity exceeding 56.1 GW, India is currently the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market. However, less than 5 per cent of the country’s estimated wind energy potential of 1,164 GW has been tapped.
Industry stakeholders, including the Central Electricity Authority, The Energy and Resources Institute, and National Institute of Wind Energy, have recommended achieving 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030 to ensure a successful, affordable, and sustainable energy transition.
Expressing confidence in the sector’s growth trajectory, the minister said India is well-positioned to achieve 100 GW of wind power installations by 2030 and further expand capacity to 155 GW by 2035.
Meanwhile, a joint report by IWTMA and PwC revealed that India’s wind turbine exports crossed ₹12,000 crore in FY26, marking an increase of nearly 50 per cent over FY25. The report estimates that India’s share in the global wind turbine export market could rise to 10 per cent by 2030 and 20 per cent by 2040, underscoring the country’s growing role in the global clean energy supply chain.
