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

India has officially taken a significant step toward digitizing its renewable energy infrastructure with the launch of WT-MARUT. This pioneering digital platform is designed to streamline the wind energy supply chain, bolstering domestic manufacturing and supporting the nation's ambitious clean energy targets.

Strengthening Traceability with WT-MARUT

Launched by Pralhad Joshi, the Minister for New and Renewable Energy, WT-MARUT serves as India's first dedicated digital portal for the wind energy sector. The platform is engineered to provide end-to-end tracking of critical wind energy components, moving them seamlessly from manufacturing facilities to final project sites.

By implementing this digital layer, the government aims to ensure greater traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance across the entire supply chain. This level of oversight is crucial for minimizing logistical bottlenecks and ensuring that the high-quality components required for massive wind farms are delivered efficiently and transparently.

India’s Growing Dominance in the Global Wind Market

The launch comes at a time when India's wind energy sector is witnessing unprecedented growth. During the 2025-26 period, India added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity, marking its highest-ever annual addition. With an installed capacity exceeding 56.1 GW, India has solidified its position as the world's fourth-largest wind energy market.

Minister Joshi highlighted that the domestic industry has already developed robust capabilities across the entire value chain, including the manufacturing of nacelles, blades, wind turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes. This technical maturity positions Indian manufacturers to not only meet domestic demand but also to expand their footprint in competitive global markets.

Massive Untapped Potential and Future Targets

Despite the recent record-breaking additions, India’s wind energy landscape remains largely untapped. The current installed capacity of 56.1 GW accounts for less than 5% of the country’s estimated wind potential, which stands at a massive 1,164 GW.

To bridge this gap, the government has set aggressive expansion milestones. The Ministry is confident in achieving 100 GW of total wind installations by 2030, with a roadmap to reach 155 GW by 2035. These targets are integral to India’s broader mission of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2070.

Girish Tanti, Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, emphasized that wind energy remains one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly renewable technologies available, making it a cornerstone of India's long-term energy security.
