Adani New Industries to Manufacture India’s Largest Wind Turbine Blades at Mundra
Adani New Industries Ltd. (ANIL), the renewable manufacturing arm of Adani Group, is about to manufacture 91.2-metre onshore wind turbine blades at its Mundra manufacturing facility in Gujarat. According to several media reports, these blades will be among the longest produced for onshore wind turbines in India.
Design and Scale of Adani’s 91.2-Metre Wind Turbine Blade
The planned 91.2-metre wind turbine blade is designed to support a rotor diameter of around 185 metres. At this scale, the turbine would sweep an area of nearly 26,600 square metres. A blade of this length is comparable to the length of a football field and taller than a 30-storey building. During operation, each full rotation of the turbine rotor would sweep an area larger than three football fields combined.
A larger swept area allows wind turbines to capture more kinetic energy from wind. This can contribute to improved capacity utilisation and increased electricity generation compared to turbines with smaller rotor diameters.
Adani New Industries is expected to begin production of these blades within the current calendar year (2026).
Current Manufacturing Capacity at Adani’s Mundra Plant and Expansion Plans
Adani Group’s Mundra plant currently manufactures wind turbine blades with an annual production capacity of approximately 2.25 GW. This is equivalent to around 450 blade sets annually. The blades currently produced at the facility measure 78.6 metres and 80.5 metres in length.
The company plans to expand the manufacturing capacity of the plant from 2.25 GW to 5 GW in multiple phases. Over the longer term, Adani New Industries has set a target of reaching 10 GW of blade manufacturing capacity.
India’s Wind Manufacturing and Installation Landscape
The aforementioned development aligns with India’s growth in the wind energy sector. The nation ranks fourth globally in cumulative installed wind power capacity, with around 55 GW currently operational. The country is also considered the world’s third-largest wind manufacturing base, with an estimated domestic manufacturing capacity of approximately 20 GW.
Domestic manufacturing covers major components such as towers, nacelles, blades and several key sub-components.
Blade manufacturing alone accounts for nearly 16 GW of capacity in India, representing close to 10% of global blade manufacturing capability.
Wind power installations in the country have also increased in recent years. India added about 6.3 GW of wind capacity in 2025, the highest annual addition recorded so far. This represents an 85.2% year-on-year increase, according to data from energy research and analytics firm Mercom Group.
