Adani Group’s wind turbine manufacturing arm has bagged fresh orders totaling 304 megawatts (MW) of capacity in India this month, reinforcing its push into the clean energy sector. The contracts, awarded to Adani Wind, a division of Adani New Industries Ltd. (ANIL), come from independent power producers and will see turbines installed across four sites in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, Chief Executive Officer Milind Kulkarni confirmed.
The orders are for Adani’s 3.3 MW wind turbine model, a utility-scale machine designed for India’s renewable energy needs. While Adani Wind has not officially disclosed the deal value, industry estimates suggest a wind turbine costs at least ₹60 million ($685,230) per MW, pegging the orders at roughly ₹18.2 billion ($207 million).
The announcement underlines Adani Group’s role in meeting India’s ambitious clean energy target of installing 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, including 100 GW from wind power. Founded in 2016, Adani Wind expects to deliver turbines with up to 1.25 GW of capacity to external customers in FY2026, reflecting a sharp scale-up in production.
Beyond domestic demand, the company is eyeing overseas exports, with its first blades shipped to Germany earlier this month. Kulkarni said Adani Wind is exploring opportunities in Australia, Brazil, the Philippines, Vietnam, and wider Southeast Asia, regions where governments are pushing aggressively toward net-zero emissions.
Analysts say the orders mark a significant milestone for Adani’s renewable energy ambitions, balancing India’s growing power needs with sustainability goals. The global expansion push could also position the company as a key player in the international wind turbine market, currently dominated by European majors.
