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.

Bakan Joshi, sektörün 2030 yılına kadar 100 GW rüzgar kurulumuna ulaşacağına ve 2035 yılına kadar 155 GW hedefine ulaşacağına dair güvenini dile getirdi. Hindistan Rüzgar Türbini Üreticileri Birliği Başkanı Girish Tanti, rüzgar enerjisinin mevcut en maliyet açısından rekabetçi ve şebeke dostu teknolojilerden biri olduğunu vurguladı. Bu büyüme, Hindistan'ın 2030 yılına kadar 500 GW fosil yakıt dışı kapasiteye ulaşma ve 2070 yılındaki nihai net sıfır hedefi için bir temel taşı olarak görülüyor.
