- In a significant boost to India’s renewable energy sector, Inox Wind Ltd (IWL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Inox Clean Energy to supply 1,500 MW of wind turbines for renewable energy projects across the country.
- The agreement marks one of the largest turbine supply partnerships in the domestic wind energy sector and is expected to accelerate project execution while strengthening India’s transition towards clean energy.
- With this deal, Inox Wind’s total order book has crossed 4.5 GW, providing visibility for growth over the next several years.
Details of the 1,500 MW Agreement
- Under the MoU, Inox Wind will supply its advanced 3.3 MW wind turbines, 4X MW wind turbine platforms
- These turbines will be deployed in renewable energy projects being developed by Inox Clean Energy at various locations across India.
- The agreement is aimed at Expanding wind energy capacity, Accelerating project implementation, Improving supply chain certainty and Supporting India’s clean energy goals.
Inox Clean Energy Eyes 14 GW Portfolio by FY29
- Inox Clean Energy is among India’s rapidly growing renewable energy companies.
- The company has set an ambitious target of achieving 14 GW of operational renewable energy capacity by FY29
- The partnership is expected to play a crucial role in helping the company achieve its expansion plans.
Boost to India’s Wind Energy Sector
- The MoU comes at a time when India’s wind energy sector is witnessing renewed momentum.
- India currently Has over 56 GW of installed wind power capacity.
- India is the fourth-largest wind energy market in the world.
- India has an estimated wind potential of over 1,100 GW.
The government has also set ambitious renewable energy targets, including:
- 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030.
- Expansion of wind and solar installations.
- Promotion of domestic manufacturing under Make in India.
Large-scale agreements like the Inox Wind-Inox Clean partnership are expected to support these goals.
Advantages of the Partnership
The MoU is expected to create several benefits for both companies and the broader renewable energy ecosystem.
