Exhaustive wind resource assessment has been carried
out in more than 555 stations spread over 20 States
in the country. Around 221 Wind Monitoring stations
have indicated wind power density of more than 200 W/m2

.A good number of wind turbine manufacturers are active in India and producing Wind Electric Generators locally. A large number of agencies have come up to supply components/ spares/accessories and to provide services like Erection, O & M, Civil & Electrical Construction, Consultancy etc.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India and various State Nodal Agencies encourage growth of the Wind Energy Sector through financial incentives and policy support. MNRE has also established a Centre for Wind Energy Technology at Chennai with a field test station at Kayathar to act as the technical focal point for wind power development in the country.
