NEW DELHI — India's installed wind power capacity reached 57,443 megawatts (MW) as of June 30, 2026, while electricity generated from wind energy projects climbed to 106 billion units during the 2025-26 financial year, according to data presented by the federal government in Parliament.
The figures were disclosed by Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik in a written reply to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament, outlining the country's progress in expanding renewable energy capacity.
The ministry said wind power generation has increased steadily over the past three financial years alongside rising annual capacity additions. India added about 3,253 MW of wind capacity in 2023-24, followed by 4,151 MW in 2024-25 and 6,057 MW in 2025-26, reflecting an acceleration in project deployment. Annual wind power generation rose from 83 billion units in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 to 106 billion units in 2025-26.
According to the government, several policy measures have supported growth in the sector, including initiatives to strengthen renewable energy infrastructure and improve grid connectivity for wind projects. These include investments under the Green Energy Corridor programme to expand transmission lines and substation capacity for evacuating renewable electricity, along with measures intended to facilitate project development and integration into the national grid.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said the country continues to expand its broader clean energy portfolio, with wind power remaining one of the principal contributors to renewable electricity generation. Official ministry data show cumulative wind installations accounting for 57.4 gigawatts of India's renewable energy capacity as of the end of June.
The government also cited the Global Wind Energy Council's 2026 report, which ranked India fourth worldwide in cumulative wind energy installations as of Dec. 31, 2025.
State-wise figures submitted to Parliament show that wind installations remain concentrated in states with strong wind resources, including Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, which together account for the majority of the country's installed capacity, according to the ministry's annexures.
The latest data form part of India's broader effort to expand non-fossil electricity generation capacity while meeting growing power demand. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said it will continue implementing policies aimed at supporting renewable energy deployment, with updated capacity and generation figures to be released through its regular reporting mechanisms.
