India Launches WT-MARUT to Revolutionize Wind Energy Supply Chains

India has taken a significant step toward digitizing its renewable energy sector with the launch of WT-MARUT, the nation’s first dedicated digital platform for wind energy supply chain management. Unveiled by Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi, this platform aims to fortify the domestic manufacturing ecosystem and streamline the transition to clean energy.

Enhancing Traceability with WT-MARUT

The launch of WT-MARUT marks a pivotal shift in how wind energy components are monitored within India. The digital portal is designed to facilitate end-to-end tracking of critical components—ranging from manufacturing units to final project sites. By providing real-time visibility, the platform ensures greater traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance across the entire value chain.

This digital intervention is expected to reduce logistical bottlenecks and improve the efficiency of component delivery, which is vital for large-scale wind farm developments. As India seeks to scale its manufacturing, having a centralized system to manage the movement of nacelles, blades, towers, and advanced gearboxes will be a game-changer for developers and manufacturers alike.

India’s Rising Dominance in Global Wind Markets

During the launch event held on Global Wind Day, Minister Pralhad Joshi highlighted the robust capabilities of the Indian wind industry. The domestic sector has demonstrated immense strength, mastering complex components such as wind turbine towers and sophisticated gearboxes. This technical maturity positions India not just as a consumer, but as a potential global manufacturing hub for wind energy technology.

The scale of growth is reflected in recent data. India recently added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity in the 2025-26 period, marking its highest-ever annual addition. With a current installed capacity exceeding 56.1 GW, India has solidified its position as the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market.

Ambitious Targets and Untapped Potential

Despite the record-breaking additions, the gap between current capacity and total potential remains vast. India's current installations account for less than 5% of its estimated wind potential of 1,164 GW. To bridge this gap, the government has set aggressive roadmap targets to drive large-scale investment and infrastructure development.

The Ministry has expressed confidence in achieving 100 GW of wind installations by 2030, with a long-term target of 155 GW by 2035. Girish Tanti, Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, emphasized that wind energy is one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly technologies available. Such growth is essential for India to meet its broader goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and its ultimate net-zero ambition by 2070.
