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

India has taken a significant step toward digitizing its renewable energy infrastructure with the launch of WT-MARUT, the nation's first dedicated digital platform for wind energy supply chain management. Unveiled by New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi, this portal aims to streamline manufacturing processes and bolster the country's clean energy ambitions.

Enhancing Traceability with WT-MARUT

The launch of WT-MARUT marks a technological shift in how wind energy components are handled across the country. The platform is designed to facilitate end-to-end tracking of critical components—ranging from manufacturing facilities to final project sites. By implementing this digital oversight, the Ministry aims to ensure greater traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance throughout the entire supply chain.

This digital intervention is expected to strengthen the domestic manufacturing ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to monitor the movement of essential parts like nacelles, blades, turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes with precision.

India’s Growing Dominance in Global Wind Markets

During the Global Wind Day celebrations, Minister Pralhad Joshi highlighted the increasing sophistication of the Indian wind industry. Currently, India stands as the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market, boasting an installed capacity of over 56.1 GW.

The sector is seeing unprecedented momentum; in the 2025-26 period, India added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity, marking its highest-ever annual addition. This robust growth underscores the capability of Indian manufacturers to not only meet domestic demand but also to expand their footprint in international markets.

Ambitious Targets and Massive Untapped Potential

Despite the record-breaking additions, the scale of opportunity remains vast. India’s current installed capacity represents less than 5% of its estimated wind potential, which stands at a staggering 1,164 GW. To bridge this gap, the government has set aggressive milestones for the coming decade.

Minister Joshi expressed confidence that the sector will achieve 100 GW of wind installations by 2030, with a target of reaching 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. This growth is seen as a cornerstone for India to reach its broader goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and its ultimate net-zero ambition by 2070.
