Rapidly evolving technology, conducive policy environment and increasing cost efficiency has transitioned renewables from alternative to mainstream source of energy. The wind industry is supporting the Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative with over 75% localisation.

The target of 175GW of renewable energy by 2022 and the formation of the International Solar Alliance with India in the lead are examples of our commitment towards clean energy. With both solar and wind power established as being cheaper than coal-based power, going by economic logic alone, majority of India’s future capacity additions should be through renewables.
Since 2015, investment in renewables by developing economies has exceeded that by developed countries; in FY2017, the global renewables industry saw fresh investment worth over USD 280 billion.
