Over 300 exhibitors from across the globe are set to be a part of history in making at the sixth edition of
Windergy India, one of the most anticipated trade fair and conference in the renewable energy sector from 23-25
October 2024 at the Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Mr JP Chalasani, CEO, Suzlon Group believes that India has yet to tap into 96% of its wind energy potential, which,
if harnessed, could accelerate India’s journey to achieving net-zero by 2070.He said.“We are in a pivotal phase for wind energy, and with consistent policy support that encourages domestic manufacturing and innovation including measures like strengthening RLMM requirements can position India as a global hub for renewable energy production,”
currently ranks fourth in wind energy installations and attendees will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions from a wide range of around 300 exhibitors from 25 Countries with international pavilions from nations like Denmark, Spain, United Kingdom reaffirming the global focus on advancing wind energy. With more than 7,000 km of coastline, India has the potential to generate over 500 GW of offshore wind capacity, with states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat leading the way in offshore development. In a landmark move, the Union Cabinet recently approved 1 GW of offshore wind energy projects in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, with an investment of Rs 7,453 crore. These projects are expected to produce 3.72 billion units of renewable electricity annually, reducing 2.98 million tons of CO2
emissions. This underscores India's commitment to advancing its energy transition and achieving its Net Zero
2070 targets.

Mr Amit Kansal, CEO and Managing Director at Senvion Wind Technology said "India’s wind energy sector is
experiencing remarkable growth, with an installed capacity of over 47 GW as of 2024. The trend towards hybrid
wind-solar projects is changing the landscape. With the government’s goal of 140 GW of wind power by 2030 and
recent investments exceeding $10 billion annually in renewable energy, this progress is critical to meeting India’s
renewable energy targets and driving sustainable development. Mr Parag Sharma, President, Wind Independent Power Producers Association (WIPPA) said, “Congratulations Windergy India 2024 on your 6th edition! Bringing together key players in the wind energy sector, this platform continues to strengthen the wind industry’s role in India’s energy transition. With the total installed wind energy capacity crossing the 47 GW mark this August and the ambitious 140 GW target by 2030 on the horizon, the industry is at a pivotal juncture.
