JSW Energy announced plans to commission two wind blade manufacturing plants in 2025, marking a strategic move to enhance India’s renewable energy self-reliance. The new facilities are part of the company’s broader effort to localize its supply chain, reduce dependence on imports, and optimise costs.
Closing Critical Gaps in the Supply Chain
India currently manufactures key wind turbine components—such as towers and generators—using domestic steel. However, several parts, like wind blades, are still imported due to limited local production capacity. JSW Energy’s upcoming plants aim to fill this critical gap and ensure a stable, cost-efficient supply of wind blades for its projects.
Focusing on Cost Efficiency and Risk Mitigation
The new plants will primarily serve JSW Energy’s internal requirements, enabling the company to “de-risk and optimise costs” across its wind energy operations. JSW is bringing wind blade manufacturing in-house, taking control of a key component in its renewable energy strategy. This move also supports India’s Make in India vision.
Driving India’s Renewable Manufacturing Push
The initiative aligns with India’s larger push for clean energy independence and industrial growth. As reported by projectstoday.com, JSW Energy is investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities. This supports the company’s expansion goals and also strengthens the country’s wind energy ecosystem.
