Larger 5 MW+ turbine platform to enhance energy yield at low- and medium-wind sites as India strengthens domestic wind manufacturing capacity.
Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) is set to manufacture India’s longest onshore wind turbine blades, measuring 91.2 meters, at its Mundra facility in Gujarat. The development places the company at the forefront of India’s transition toward higher-capacity wind turbines designed to improve generation efficiency, particularly across low- and medium-wind resource sites nationwide.
The Adani's Mundra plant currently produces 78.6-meter and 80.5-meter blades. The new 91.2-meter design represents a significant advancement in composite materials engineering, aerodynamic optimization, and precision manufacturing. The first blade set has already been installed on a next-generation turbine platform, with serial production expected to commence within the current calendar year.

Longer blades directly increase rotor diameter and overall swept area, two critical factors influencing wind energy output. A 91.2-meter blade enables a rotor diameter of nearly 185 meters, sweeping approximately 26,600 square meters. The expanded capture area allows turbines to extract more kinetic energy per rotation, enhancing capacity utilization and improving plant load factors.
The shift toward turbines rated above 5 MW aligns with India’s geographical wind profile, where substantial untapped potential exists in low- and medium-wind corridors. Larger rotors and higher hub heights make such locations commercially viable, enabling broader wind deployment beyond traditional high-wind states while supporting competitive levelized cost of energy.

ANIL’s Mundra blade facility currently has an annual manufacturing capacity of 2.25 GW, equivalent to roughly 450 blade sets per year. The company plans to scale capacity to 5 GW in phases, with a long-term ambition of reaching 10 GW as domestic and export demand for larger turbine platforms rises.
Mundra is steadily evolving into an integrated renewable manufacturing hub, combining wind turbines, solar modules, and component production within a single ecosystem. Investments in wind manufacturing at the site are estimated at up to ₹3,000 crore, with future capital expenditure directed toward automation, advanced tooling, and recyclable blade material development.
India ranks fourth globally in cumulative installed wind capacity at approximately 55 GW and holds around 20 GW of annual manufacturing capability. With localization levels of 70% to 80% across the wind value chain, the country is strengthening its position as a competitive global manufacturing base for advanced wind technologies.
