India's new platform aims to unify suppliers and manufacturers while boosting wind energy growth and global export ambitions through transparency.
WT-MARUT, India's first wind turbine supply chain management portal was introduced to strengthen domestic manufacturing capacities and facilitate the growth of the country's renewable energy industry. At the Global Wind Day Conference in Goa, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi introduced the digital platform with the goal of enhancing efficiency, joint efforts, and transparency across the wind energy supply chain.
The portal, which was created under the direction of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with assistance from the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), aims to improve visibility into supplier identification, component sourcing, and adherence to domestic sourcing regulations under the framework of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM).
It is anticipated that the WT-MARUT platform will enhance export preparedness and facilitate improved cooperation between manufacturers, suppliers, and other industry stakeholders. In keeping with the government's overarching goal of building an independent clean energy ecosystem, the project also focuses on secure hosting industry data within India.
Can India Become a Major Global Hub for Wind Turbine Exports?
The launch coincides with major growth in India's wind energy industry. In the fiscal year 2025 to 2026, the country added 6.1 GW of new wind capacity, the largest yearly installation level ever recorded and a 46% yearly increase. India is currently the 4th largest wind energy markets in the world, with more than 56.1 GW of installed wind capacity.
The conference featured industry claims that emphasized India's growing role in the global wind supply chain. In FY 2025 to 2026, wind turbine and component exports surpassed Rs 12,000 crore, representing a roughly 50% increase over the previous financial year. According to the analysis, India may contribute ten percent of the world's wind turbine exports by 2030 and 20% by 2040.
India will require more than 100 GW of wind energy capacity by 2030 to support a sustainable energy transition, according to government agencies like the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), and the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE).
According to industry representatives, India's current manufacturing prowess, which includes skills in nacelles, gearboxes, blades, and towers, could help the nation grow its position as a worldwide supplier of wind energy equipment.
An important step towards enhancing supply chain integration and strengthening India's aspirations for clean energy production and exports is the WT-MARUT portal.
Thus, Business Fortune is of the view that WT-MARUT could strengthen India’s wind energy ecosystem, manufacturing capabilities, and global export ambitions.
