Future outlook
Currently, India is one of the world''s fastest-growing economies,
growing annually at around 7 percent over the past five years. However,
the country''s energy sector has not kept pace with increasing demands,
and there is an urgent need to increase its installed energy capacity.
India is ranked fifth globally in terms of its installed wind energy
capacity, and is one of the world''s emerging players. According to
Indian Wind Energy Association estimates, there is an upside to
utilising wind energy for generating electricity to the tune of 65,000
MW.
The Indian wind energy market will remain an attractive prospect for
independent power producers, owing to the country''s resilient economy
and the pro-wind policies adopted by central and state governments.
Some of them are tax and duty exemptions on wind turbines and other
components. Also, the start of the Generation-based ncentives (GBI) and
Renewable Energy Certificate scheme will promote investments by large
independent power producers.
