India's wind energy sector is gaining a digital backbone with the launch of WT-MARUT, the country's first dedicated platform for managing the wind energy supply chain. For procurement and supply chain leaders, the platform promises real-time visibility into component flows from factory floor to wind farm, a capability that directly addresses traceability and accountability gaps in renewable energy logistics.
What WT-MARUT Does
According to a Business Today report, WT-MARUT (Wind Turbine Manufacturing and Renewable Utilisation Tracking) will facilitate end-to-end tracking of wind energy components, from manufacturing facilities to project sites. Minister Pralhad Joshi stated that the platform ensures greater traceability, accountability and compliance across the entire supply chain. The portal is expected to strengthen India's domestic wind manufacturing ecosystem and support the country's clean energy expansion.
India's Wind Energy Growth Trajectory
The platform launch coincides with record wind capacity additions. India added 6.1 GW of new wind capacity in 2025-26, its highest-ever annual addition. With over 56.1 GW of installed capacity, India is now the world's fourth-largest wind energy market. However, this accounts for less than 5% of the country's estimated wind potential of 1,164 GW. Minister Joshi expressed confidence that the sector will achieve 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| New wind capacity added (2025-26) | 6.1 GW |
| Total installed wind capacity | 56.1 GW |
| Estimated wind potential | 1,164 GW |
| Wind capacity target by 2030 | 100 GW |
| Wind capacity target by 2035 | 155 GW |
| Current share of potential utilised | <5% |
| Global rank by installed capacity | 4th |
Components and Capabilities Tracked
The Indian industry has demonstrated strength across the wind energy value chain, with capabilities spanning nacelles, blades, wind turbine towers, and advanced gearboxes. WT-MARUT will track these and other components, providing supply chain managers with granular visibility into sourcing, production, and delivery schedules. The platform is positioned to help manufacturers and project developers optimise inventory, reduce lead times, and ensure compliance with domestic content requirements.
Industry and Government Perspective
Speaking at an event on Global Wind Day, Minister Joshi released a publication and three reports covering manufacturing, project development, and long-term power system planning in the wind sector. Girish Tanti, chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), termed wind as one of the most cost-competitive and grid-friendly renewable energy technologies. He noted that wind energy will play a critical role in achieving India's target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and its net-zero ambition by 2070.
"We are confident that the sector will achieve 100 GW of wind installations by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035," said Minister Pralhad Joshi.
What This Means for Your Procurement Team
For supply chain executives, WT-MARUT represents a shift toward digital supply chain governance in the renewable energy sector. The platform's end-to-end tracking capability can help procurement teams:
- Monitor component manufacturing stages in real time
- Verify supplier compliance with quality and domestic sourcing norms
- Reduce risk of counterfeit or substandard parts entering the supply chain
- Improve coordination between OEMs, logistics providers, and project sites
Given India's aggressive wind energy targets and the need to scale domestic manufacturing rapidly, a digital supply chain platform like WT-MARUT can provide the data foundation needed to make informed sourcing and inventory decisions. As the platform rolls out, procurement leaders should evaluate how to integrate their own systems with WT-MARUT to maximise traceability gains and align with government and industry standards.
