ABB announced the delivery of its first wind power converter in India, following the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025. Manufactured and shipped from ABB’s advanced facility in Nelamangala, Bengaluru, this milestone marks a strategic integration of Gamesa Electric’s proven wind energy conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio.
The delivery aligns with India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives, reinforcing ABB’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the country’s renewable energy sector. Alongside wind energy, ABB is also broadening its capabilities in utility-scale solar projects and battery energy storage systems (BESS), enabling a comprehensive renewable energy solution suite.
Locally manufactured solutions for grid integration
Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd, emphasized, “Wind energy plays a critical role in the energy transition. By delivering advanced power conversion technologies that are locally manufactured in India and engineered for effective grid integration, we are strengthening the integration of wind power into the grid and supporting the scale-up of renewable energy worldwide. This also reinforces India’s position as a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing and deployment.”
Expanding ABB’s serviceable wind converter base
The expansion allows ABB to increase its serviceable wind converter base by approximately 46 GW, which accounts for nearly 20% of India’s current renewable capacity. By offering end-to-end solutions across wind, solar, and battery storage, ABB is positioned to accelerate India’s renewable energy growth while supporting grid reliability and energy resilience.
Supporting India’s 2030 renewable energy target
The strategic move strengthens ABB’s role in India’s clean energy ambitions, particularly in achieving the national goal of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030. As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, through local manufacturing, advanced technology integration, and comprehensive renewable solutions, ABB is contributing to a more sustainable, reliable, and self-reliant energy ecosystem in India.
