Global Wind Day
India to host Global Wind Day 2026 Conference in Goa to boost wind energy growth
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) will host the Global Wind Day 2026 Conference on June 15 in Goa, themed “Wind Energy: From Ambition to Acceleration.
The event will be graced by Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy, Shripad Yesso Naik, alongside senior representatives from the Ministry, Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Grid India, leading state governments, and industry bodies including Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), WIPPA, and IWPA.
India has become the world’s fourth-largest wind power market. With an aim of 100 GW by 2030 and 155 GW by 2035, wind energy remains important to India’s goal of 500 GW non-fossil capacity and net-zero emissions by 2070.
“Wind energy lies at the heart of India’s renewable strategy, and the record 6.1 GW addition in 2025–26 shows what strong policy and industry collaboration can achieve. The next phase demands acceleration. On Global Wind Day 2026, the focus must shift from ambition to execution, as India also positions itself to seize global export opportunities,” said Joshi about the conference.
Secretary MNRE, Santosh Kumar Sarangi will also participate in the event. The conference will spotlight key priorities shaping the next phase of India’s wind energy journey, including resource adequacy, grid readiness, capacity addition, domestic manufacturing competitiveness, export opportunities, and advancements in forecasting and renewable energy firming. As part of the celebrations, several industry reports and knowledge papers will be unveiled, including “Elevating India’s Wind Turbine Exports for Global Markets,” highlighting India’s potential to become a global hub for wind turbine manufacturing and exports.
The conference will host plenary sessions and panel discussions with government, regulators, developers, manufacturers, and experts to identify practical measures for accelerating deployment, improving execution, and strengthening domestic capabilities.
As the sector enters its next growth phase, Global Wind Day 2026 will serve as a key milestone in shaping a roadmap for sustained expansion and clean energy ambitions.
