WT-MARUT Launched: India’s First Digital Wind Energy Supply Chain Portal

India has taken a significant leap 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 portal aims to bolster domestic manufacturing and streamline the logistics of India's rapidly expanding wind energy landscape.

Strengthening Traceability and Accountability

The WT-MARUT platform is designed to provide end-to-end tracking of critical wind energy components. By monitoring the journey of parts from manufacturing facilities directly to project sites, the portal ensures higher levels of traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance. This digital oversight is expected to reduce bottlenecks in the supply chain, making the deployment of wind projects more efficient and transparent.

As India scales its renewable infrastructure, the ability to manage complex logistics—ranging from massive blades and nacelles to advanced gearboxes and turbine towers—becomes essential for maintaining the momentum of clean energy expansion.

India Emerges as a Global Wind Powerhouse

The launch comes at a time of unprecedented growth for the Indian wind sector. During the event held on Global Wind Day, Minister Joshi highlighted that India added a record 6.1 GW of new wind capacity in 2025-26, 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. However, the potential for growth remains astronomical; the current installed capacity utilizes less than 5% of India’s estimated total wind potential of 1,164 GW.

Ambitious Targets for 2030 and Beyond

The Indian government has set aggressive benchmarks to harness its natural wind resources. Minister Joshi expressed confidence that the country is on track to achieve 100 GW of wind installations by 2030, with a further target of 155 GW by 2035.

This expansion is vital for India’s broader energy security and climate commitments. Girish Tanti, Chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, emphasized that wind energy remains one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly technologies available. Successfully scaling this sector will be a cornerstone in reaching India's target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and achieving the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
