## Wind capacity target
India will add 7.5-8 GW of wind energy capacity in fiscal year 2027.

> India will add 7.5-8 GW wind energy capacity in the current fiscal year
## Investment scale
Each megawatt of wind projects requires ₹7 crore investment, totaling ₹50 crore annually for 7 GW.

> Wind projects require investment of around ₹7 crore per MW
## Export growth
India exported ₹12,000 crore in wind components last year, with potential for further growth.

> Last year also we achieved approximately ₹12,000 crore of exports
## Offshore wind potential
India's coastline and offshore wind speeds in Tamil Nadu could make offshore wind commercially viable.

> Wind speeds identified offshore Tamil Nadu are above 10 metres per second
## Capacity utilisation
Offshore wind projects could achieve 55% capacity utilisation, lowering electricity costs.

> Such wind speeds could result in a capacity utilisation factor of around 55%
## 2030 target
India aims to reach 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030 through domestic manufacturing and exports.

> The government is therefore looking to accelerate deployment while expanding the domestic manufacturing and export ecosystem
## Key takeaway

India will add 7.5-8 GW of wind energy capacity in FY27 to reach 100 GW by 2030.
