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

India has taken a significant leap in its renewable energy journey with the launch of WT-MARUT, the nation’s first dedicated digital platform designed to manage the wind energy supply chain. This strategic move aims to bolster the domestic manufacturing ecosystem and ensure seamless execution of large-scale wind energy projects.

Strengthening Traceability with WT-MARUT

Launched by Pralhad Joshi, the Minister for New and Renewable Energy, WT-MARUT serves as a centralized digital portal to streamline the complex logistics of the wind sector. The platform is designed to facilitate end-to-end tracking of critical wind energy components, moving them from manufacturing facilities directly to project sites.

By providing real-time visibility, the portal ensures greater traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance across the entire value chain. This digital infrastructure is expected to reduce bottlenecks and improve the efficiency of component delivery, which is often a major challenge in large-scale renewable energy deployments.

India’s Rapidly Expanding Wind Capacity

The launch comes at a pivotal moment for India’s energy landscape. The country recently recorded its highest-ever annual addition of wind capacity, adding 6.1 GW during the 2025-26 period. With a total installed capacity exceeding 56.1 GW, India has solidified its position as the world’s fourth-largest wind energy market.

Despite this impressive growth, the sector still holds massive untapped potential. Currently, India’s installed capacity utilizes less than 5% of its estimated wind potential of 1,164 GW. The government has set ambitious milestones to bridge this gap, aiming for 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and scaling up to 155 GW by 2035.

Building a Global Manufacturing Hub

The Indian wind industry is no longer just a domestic player; it is evolving into a global manufacturing powerhouse. Minister Joshi highlighted that the Indian industry has demonstrated immense strength across the entire value chain, including the production of nacelles, blades, wind turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes.

גירש טנטי, יו"ר איגוד יצרני טורבינות הרוח ההודי, הדגיש כי אנרגיית רוח נותרה אחת הטכנולוגיות המתחדשות התחרותיות ביותר מבחינת עלות וידידותיות לרשת החשמל הזמינות. חיזוק מגזר זה נתפס כעמוד תווך קריטי עבור הודו להשגת היעד הרחב יותר שלה של 500 GW של קיבולת דלק שאינו מאובן עד שנת 2030, ושאיפת הנטו-אפס (net-zero) הסופית שלה עד שנת 2070.
