Inox Wind Limited (IWL), a prominent player in India’s wind energy sector, has achieved a significant milestone with its 3 MW Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) receiving recognition from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India. The turbine has been enlisted in the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM), marking its commercial availability in the market.
Developed in collaboration with the globally renowned American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC), Inox Wind’s 3 MW WTG with a booster capacity up to 3.3 MW has a robust operational history spanning over a decade. Boasting a 145 M rotor diameter, one of the largest in its category, this turbine is set to make waves in India’s growing renewable energy landscape.
The RLMM listing signifies a crucial step forward for Inox Wind, positioning its 3 MW turbines as commercially viable offerings. The turbine will be offered in various hub height configurations, including 100 M, 120 M, and 140 M. Its compact design contributes to one of the lowest levelized costs of energy per unit, streamlining production, transportation, logistics, and installation processes.
With a surge in demand evident through multiple orders totalling over 550 MW for the 3 MW WTGs, the RLMM recognition is expected to trigger a significant increase in manufacturing and supply to meet the burgeoning market demand.
Kailash Tarachandani, CEO of Inox Wind, expressed his enthusiasm about the RLMM listing, stating, “The RLMM listing of our state-of-the-art 3 MW WTGs is an important milestone for the company, and we can now accelerate the commercial sales.” He further highlighted the turbine’s suitability for Indian wind conditions and its appeal across various segments, including PSU, IPP, and C&I.
Inox Wind’s strategic plans align with India’s Aatmanirbhar vision, aiming to capitalize on the country’s ambitious target of achieving approximately 140 GW of wind capacity by 2030. Positioned as one of the few end-to-end wind solutions providers in India, Inox Wind is poised for substantial growth, leveraging its comprehensive product and service offerings.
