KK Wind Solutions, owned by A.P. Moller Holding, on Wednesday inaugurated its new factory and offices in Bengaluru to support India’s renewable energy ambitions. The new factory will be the company’s largest manufacturing facility in Asia, employing up to 400 people.

The factory is now an integral part of KK Wind Solution’s global supply chain, servicing customers across the region and around the world, the statement said.

“India is an increasingly important hub in the global wind energy value chain, and Bengaluru was the clear obvious choice for our expansion in India. The city has renowned universities and technical institutes, and a large talent pool of engineering professionals.” said Mauricio Quintana, CEO of KK Wind Solutions. 

“As a global company founded in Denmark, we are proud to contribute to this partnership by creating jobs, transferring know-how, and accelerating clean energy adoption,” Mauricio Quintana added. “Together with our partners in India, we are engineering solutions for a renewable future.” 

“The expansion of KK Wind Solutions underlines the close green strategic partnership between India and Denmark. India is committed to the necessary green transition and has set ambitious renewable energy targets. From the Danish side, we are committed to working together with our Indian partners and the wind industry to help achieve these targets. The investment by KK Wind Solutions in a new factory and office facilities in Bengaluru with more than 500 jobs signifies India’s growing importance as a hub for clean technology manufacturing,” said Eske Bo Rosenberg, Consul General of Denmark in Bengaluru, India. 

KK Wind Solutions’ new 17,000 m² factory includes 14,000 m² of manufacturing and logistics space and 3,000 m² of office space, making it the company’s largest manufacturing facility in Asia. The total site spans 24,000 m², with 7,000 m² dedicated to landscaped surroundings.

The facility will produce converters and control systems for the wind industry. It is fully licensed by the government, including export licensing under the MOOWR Scheme, and meets leading international standards for quality, safety, and environmental best practices.

Sustainability was a key consideration in the building’s design. Solar panels on the roof will generate clean energy and power local electric vehicle charging stations, said the company.

The factory currently employs 250 workers across manufacturing, logistics, quality, and safety functions, with staffing expected to grow to 400. Additionally, 150 employees will be based in a new city office supporting the company’s global shared services operations.
