Wind Energy in India: Record 6.7 GW Additions Expected in 2025

India is poised to set a new standard in renewable energy with record wind power addition of 6.7 GW in 2025, as read by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy( MNRE). The swell is a capstone of strong policy impulses, technological advancements, and robust private sector participation.

Recent government programs have played a pivotal part. The disclaimer ofInter-State Transmission System( ISTS) charges and a series of periodic wind bidding targets have accelerated installations, while cold-blooded systems and renewables tenders insure continual growth. As of June 2025, India’s total wind energy capacity surpassed 51.6 GW — up by 3.3 since March. Gujarat leads the countries with 13.8 GW, followed by Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Growth is n't invariant across all regions. Gujarat reckoned for the bulk of new installations, adding over 1.1 GW in Q2 alone. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu posted solid earnings with hundreds of megawatts added. Although installations dropped slightly quarter-over-quarter due to grid and land accession challenges, overall instigation remains strong.

Beyond state- position conduct, ambitious targets have been set by countries similar as Assam( 200 MW) and Telangana( 2.5 GW) for wind deployment. mongrel renewable systems mixing wind, solar, and storehouse are also in focus, reflecting the shift towards firm renewable energy.

India’s overall renewable energy( shaft) portfolio stands at 234 GW, with wind account for 22 — the alternate- largest member after solar. The MNRE expects that new policy mechanisms, larger turbine deployments, and repowering of aged wind granges will fuel continued capacity additions through the time. In the first half of 2025 alone, India added 3.5 GW of wind capacity, an 82 increase time- on-time.

The scale and pace of wind energy expansion in India reflect its commitment to decarbonisation and climate pretensions. Sector leaders now anticipate that wind, integrated with solar and storehouse, will decreasingly support grid stability. Ongoing challenges — substantially related to grid connectivity, rights- of- way, and land policy — remain, but cooperative results between government and private drivers are taking effect.

In conclusion, the MNRE’s protrusions for 2025 and robust recent performance confirm wind energy as a pillar in India’s energy transition, anticipated to drive job creation, investment, and sustainable power for times ahead.
