WT-MARUT Launched: India’s First Digital Platform for Wind Supply Chain

India has taken a massive leap 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. This strategic move aims to bolster the domestic manufacturing ecosystem and streamline the logistics of India's rapidly expanding wind sector.

Enhancing Traceability via WT-MARUT

Launched by Pralhad Joshi, the Minister for New and Renewable Energy, WT-MARUT is designed to provide end-to-end tracking of critical wind energy components. The platform will monitor everything from the initial manufacturing stage to the final delivery at project sites. By digitizing this process, the portal ensures greater traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance across the entire value chain. This digital oversight is crucial for managing complex components such as nacelles, blades, turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes.

Record-Breaking Growth and Market Potential

The launch comes at a time when India's wind energy sector is experiencing unprecedented momentum. 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 exceeding 56.1 GW, India has firmly established itself as the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market.

Despite this progress, the gap between current capacity and potential remains vast. Currently, India has tapped into 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 to reach 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035.

Strengthening the Path to Net-Zero

The digital infrastructure provided by WT-MARUT is a vital component in India’s broader climate strategy. Girish Tanti, Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, emphasized that wind energy is one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly renewable technologies available.

As the country works toward its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and its ultimate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, the efficiency of the wind supply chain will be a deciding factor. By improving manufacturing and project development through data-driven insights—supported by new industry reports released alongside the platform—India is positioning its domestic manufacturers to expand their footprint in the global market.
