India's wind energy capacity is estimated to reach 107 GW by 2030, compared to the government target of 100 GW, according to a report by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) released Tuesday.

The latest report, Wind at the Core: Driving India’s Green Ambitions and International Influence, was unveiled in the presence of New & Renewable Energy Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi.

The report details how installed wind capacity in India can more than double from 51 GW at present to 107 GW by 2030, in line with state-level Resource Adequacy Plans (RAP).

This is pivotal to help India achieve the least cost pathway for a successful energy transition.
