Adani New Industries Ltd. is set to manufacture the longest onshore wind turbine blade ever produced in India. The blade, measuring 91.2 metres, will be built at the company’s facility in Mundra, Gujarat. Designed for next-generation wind turbines, the development represents a major step forward for domestic renewable energy manufacturing and supports the country’s clean power ambitions.
The 91.2-metre blades have already been erected on a new turbine platform and are expected to move into serial production within the current calendar year. Their introduction marks a significant advancement in blade design, materials engineering, and large-scale manufacturing capability in India’s wind energy sector.
Engineering for Greater Energy Capture
The newly developed blades are designed to support a rotor diameter of approximately 185 metres. With each rotation, the turbine will sweep nearly 26,600 square metres, an area larger than three football fields combined. The expanded swept area allows the turbine to capture more wind energy, improving overall output and performance.
This enhanced energy capture is particularly important for low- and medium-wind regions, where traditional turbine designs may not operate at optimal efficiency. By increasing the rotor size and energy yield, the new blades are expected to improve capacity utilisation and make more project sites commercially viable. The move also aligns with the broader industry transition towards wind turbines rated above 5 megawatts, enabling higher generation from fewer installations.

Strengthening Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities
The production of such large blades reflects growing technical sophistication within India’s renewable manufacturing ecosystem. Blade manufacturing at this scale requires advanced composite materials, precision engineering, and robust quality control systems to ensure structural integrity and long-term durability under varying wind conditions.
By manufacturing the blades domestically, Adani New Industries Ltd. is contributing to India’s efforts to strengthen self-reliance in renewable energy equipment. The ability to produce longer and more efficient blades within the country reduces dependence on imports and enhances the competitiveness of locally manufactured turbines.
Mundra’s Rise as a Renewable Manufacturing Hub
The Mundra facility in Gujarat is increasingly emerging as an integrated renewable energy manufacturing hub. The site brings together wind turbine manufacturing, solar module production, and related component fabrication within a single ecosystem.
Investments in the wind manufacturing segment at Mundra are estimated at up to ₹3,000 crore. Future capital expenditure is expected to focus on automation, advanced tooling systems, and the development of recyclable materials. These measures are aimed at improving production efficiency while aligning with sustainability objectives.
The integrated nature of the facility allows for operational synergies, streamlined logistics, and tighter quality control across multiple renewable technologies. This approach supports the scaling of clean energy infrastructure while maintaining manufacturing efficiency.
Expanding Production Capacity to Meet Demand
Adani New Industries Ltd. currently operates blade manufacturing capacity at Mundra of approximately 2.25 gigawatts annually, equivalent to around 450 blade sets per year. The company has outlined plans to expand this capacity to 5 gigawatts, with a longer-term target of reaching 10 gigawatts.
The company has secured 304 megawatts of orders from independent power producers for its 3.3-megawatt turbine model. It also expects to deliver up to 1.25 gigawatts of wind turbines to external customers during the current year. These developments reflect growing demand for domestically manufactured wind energy equipment.
India remains the world’s third-largest wind manufacturing base, with a domestic manufacturing capacity of approximately 20 gigawatts. The introduction of the 91.2-metre blade adds to this capability and reinforces the country’s position in the global renewable energy supply chain.
Supporting India’s Clean Energy Transition
The rollout of India’s longest onshore wind turbine blade underscores the accelerating pace of technological advancement in the renewable sector. Larger blades and higher-capacity turbines are central to improving efficiency, lowering generation costs, and expanding wind energy deployment into new regions.
As India continues to scale its renewable energy infrastructure, innovations in turbine design and manufacturing will play a critical role. The 91.2-metre blade represents not only a manufacturing milestone but also a strategic step toward strengthening domestic capability and supporting the country’s long-term clean energy expansion.
