Session 2: Accelerating Onshore Wind Energy Adoption in India

Global Wind Day Celebration

Objectives:

Accelerating onshore wind energy adoption in India is not just a strategic move; it’s a critical imperative for achieving multifaceted national objectives of self-reliance in energy security and Net Zero 2070 commitments. Firstly, it directly contributes  to enhancing energy security by diversifying the energy mix and reducing dependency on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating the risks associated with fuel price volatility and supply disruptions. Given India’s ambitious energy targets and the growing demand for electricity, particularly in rural areas, the scalability and reliability of onshore wind power make it a cornerstone of the country’s energy security strategy.

The objectives of the session are to explore new growth drivers to accelerate wind project investments and wind power offtakes within the states and by the C&I segment. Further, explore the export opportunities for the Indian OEMs in the global market
