IWTMA expects 4,000 MW of wind installations by 31st March

While the States of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka were the major contributors in the total wind installations in 2016 with their lion share of 3,718.91 MW, the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers’ Association (IWTMA) has noted that in the financial year ending March 31 this year, the wind installations are expected to cross 4,000 MW.

Noting that India had made significant commitment under the Paris Declaration and the CoP 21 to fight against the climate change, the IWTMA Chairman, Sarvesh Kumar, outlined that wind industry witnessed many path-breaking policies in 2016.
To name a few were the draft Wind-Solar-Hybrid policy, guidelines for development of onshore wind projects and for prototype wind turbines, proposal for evaluation of small wind energy and hybrid projects, competitive bidding of 1,000 MW of wind power and setting up of 1,000 MW ISTS connected wind power projects.
