Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said India is on track to reach 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030.

The country added 6.05 GW of wind capacity in FY2026, according to the reporting.

Installed wind energy capacity stood at 59.20 GW as of September 30, 2026.

The government is also forming plans to repower about 25 GW of ageing wind projects.

Why it mattersThe plan could speed renewable buildout, reshape power investment, and determine how much ageing wind infrastructure gets upgraded instead of retired.
More context

The reporting says India had around 59 GW of operational wind capacity and added 3 GW from April to September.

Peak power demand is expected to reach 459 GW by 2030, according to the source.
