India aims to build 509 GW of renewables by 2030, including 110 GW of wind, but current installation rates fall short. In 2023, India added only 2.8 GW of wind capacity, far below the required annual addition of 9.3 GW from 2024 to 2030.The global picture also reveals shortfalls. While global wind capacity is projected to double by 2030, reaching 2,157 GW, this is a 2.4 times increase from the 901 GW recorded in 2022. The analysis suggests that global wind capacity will double, primarily due to China’s expected over-delivery, while the rest of the world is on course to under-deliver. "Wind energy must be at the heart of the energy transition," said Ben Backwell, CEO of GWEC.
