India can challenge China and become global wind powerhouse, says GWEC

The Covid-19 pandemic, trade wars and the invasion of Ukraine have set the stage for India to challenge China’s supremacy in wind power manufacturing, according to a new report, but the country must overcome challenges to “seize” this opportunity.

China dominates the global supply chain for blade, generator and gearbox manufacturing but may be losing its footing, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and consultant MEC+ argued in their latest annual report on the Indian wind power sector.
