India has a significant gap to meet its 2030 wind energy targets, requiring 9.3 GW of wind capacity annually from 2024 to 2030.
-
The current build rate of 2.8 GW in 2023 is well below what is needed, with India having the second-largest gap between forecast installations and targets.
-
Globally, wind energy targets fall short of tripling, with an additional 585 GW of capacity needed to meet the 2030 goal.
India, the fourth-largest wind market globally, is struggling to meet its 2030 wind energy targets. According to a report by Ember, India needs to build 9.3 GW of wind capacity annually from 2024 to 2030, but the current build rate is only 2.8 GW. This gap is the second-largest globally, after the US.
The report highlights that global wind energy targets are also falling short, with an additional 585 GW of capacity needed to meet the 2030 goal. While some countries like Brazil and Türkiye are making progress, India and the US have significant gaps to fill. The International Energy Agency has emphasized the importance of tripling global renewables capacity by 2030 to keep the 1.5C goal within reach.
