India has made significant strides in renewable energy, adding a record 6.3 GW of wind power capacity in 2025, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). This achievement makes India the third-largest market for new wind installations, surpassing Germany, and follows a substantial increase from 3.4 GW added in 2024. With this addition, India's total installed wind capacity has reached 54.5 GW. Globally, 165 GW of wind capacity was added in 2025, including 9.3 GW from offshore sources, marking a 40% year-on-year increase. The top five markets—China, the United States, India, Germany, and Brazil—accounted for 86% of new capacity additions. GWEC anticipates that India will add 41 GW of wind installations by 2030, supported by ambitious targets for renewable energy and a robust local supply chain. However, the report highlights the need for improved policy frameworks and infrastructure to fully capitalize on India's offshore wind potential. CEO Ben Backwell emphasized the wind sector's resilience amid rising oil and gas prices but noted that bureaucratic challenges hinder progress in many regions.
