WT-MARUT Launched: A Digital Leap for India's Wind Energy Supply Chain

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. This strategic move aims to fortify the domestic manufacturing ecosystem and streamline the logistics of large-scale clean energy projects.

Revolutionizing Traceability with WT-MARUT

Launched by the Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, WT-MARUT is designed to provide end-to-end tracking of critical wind energy components. The platform will monitor the journey of hardware from manufacturing facilities directly to project sites. By implementing this digital oversight, the government intends to ensure higher levels of traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance across the entire value chain.

This digital integration comes at a time when the Indian industry is proving its technical prowess. Domestic manufacturers are already demonstrating high-level capabilities in producing complex components, including nacelles, blades, wind turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes, positioning India as a potential global hub for wind technology.

Record-Breaking Growth and Massive Untapped Potential

The launch coincides with a period of unprecedented growth in India's wind sector. In the 2025-26 fiscal year, India added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity, marking its highest-ever annual addition. With a total installed capacity now exceeding 56.1 GW, India has officially cemented its position as the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market.

Despite these milestones, the scale of opportunity remains vast. Currently, India’s installed capacity utilizes less than 5% of its estimated wind potential, which stands at a staggering 1,164 GW. To bridge this gap, the government has set ambitious targets, aiming to reach 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and scaling up to 155 GW by 2035.

Driving India Toward Net-Zero Ambitions

The wind energy sector is viewed as a cornerstone of India’s broader climate strategy. Girish Tanti, Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, highlighted that wind is among the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly renewable technologies available today.

The efficient scaling of wind power is critical for India to meet its dual energy milestones: achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and fulfilling its long-term commitment to reach Net-Zero emissions by 2070. Through tools like WT-MARUT and improved long-term power system planning, India is building the digital and physical infrastructure required to lead the global energy transition.
