According to the ministry, India is currently the world’s fourth-largest wind power market. The country has set targets of achieving 100 GW of wind energy capacity by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035, supporting its broader goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity and net-zero emissions by 2070.
Highlighting the importance of the sector, Joshi said, “Wind energy lies at the heart of India’s renewable strategy, and the record 6.1 GW addition in 2025–26 shows what strong policy and industry collaboration can achieve.”
He added, “The next phase demands acceleration. On Global Wind Day 2026, the focus must shift from ambition to execution, as India also positions itself to seize global export opportunities.”
MNRE Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi will also take part in the conference.
The event will focus on key priorities for the next stage of India’s wind energy growth, including resource adequacy, grid readiness, capacity addition, domestic manufacturing competitiveness, export opportunities, and advances in forecasting and renewable energy firming.
Several industry reports and knowledge papers will be released during the conference. These include “Elevating India’s Wind Turbine Exports for Global Markets,” which highlights the country’s potential to become a global hub for wind turbine manufacturing and exports.
The conference will feature plenary sessions and panel discussions involving government officials, regulators, developers, manufacturers and industry experts. Discussions will focus on practical measures to accelerate deployment, improve execution and strengthen domestic capabilities as India advances its clean energy ambitions.
