New Delhi: The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) have agreed to explore the creation of dedicated task forces to help India achieve its renewable energy milestones. The proposal was finalised at a high-level roundtable organised by IWTMA, where industry leaders, policymakers, and regulators discussed ways to accelerate the goal of 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030.

The task forces will be mandated to review existing policies and facilitate faster execution of wind energy projects to meet the country’s rising power demand.
Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Secretary, MNRE, said, “India is uniquely positioned in wind energy, both in terms of natural resources and manufacturing strength. By setting up these taskforces, we are ensuring that India not only meets its 100 GW wind target by 2030 but also exceeds it while unlocking its potential as a global wind manufacturing hub.”
Echoing this optimism, IWTMA Chairman Girish Tanti said, “We are witnessing huge uptake and demand for wind because of its ability to lower the cost for RTC power. Today’s discussions were highly productive, with constructive dialogues across government, industry, and regulators to accelerate the pace of execution. The creation of dedicated task forces marks a new chapter in advancing India’s wind energy agenda.”

The roundtable underscored the central role of wind in India’s clean energy transition. Seen as the backbone of affordable, round-the-clock renewable power, wind energy is expected to play a vital role in helping the country achieve its broader target of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.
