ABB today confirmed the shipment of its first wind power converter manufactured in India, marking an important milestone following the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025. Produced at ABB’s advanced Nelamangala facility near Bengaluru, the converter has been delivered to a leading wind turbine OEM, reinforcing ABB’s long-term commitment to the wind energy sector in India and international markets.
This first dispatch reflects the successful integration of Gamesa Electric’s established wind power conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio. In line with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives, ABB is expanding its local manufacturing capabilities while strengthening its focus on wind energy alongside utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems.
“Wind power is a cornerstone of the global energy transition,” said Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd. “By manufacturing advanced power conversion solutions in India that support reliable grid integration, we are helping accelerate the deployment of wind energy while reinforcing India’s role as a key manufacturing hub for renewables worldwide.”
India continues to emerge as a major center for renewable energy manufacturing and deployment, with wind power playing a central role. Now ranked among the world’s leading wind manufacturing bases, India is projected to supply around 10 percent of global wind demand and expand its installed wind capacity to 107 GW by 2030, highlighting the country’s growing influence in the global clean energy landscape.
Over the past 15 years, ABB has supported renewable energy development worldwide by delivering more than 60,000 wind converters and generators. The integration of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics capabilities further strengthens ABB’s position in renewable power conversion, enabling the delivery of large-scale solutions across wind, solar, and battery energy storage. As a result, ABB’s global serviceable installed base of wind converters has expanded by approximately 46 GW—equivalent to nearly one-fifth of India’s current total renewable energy capacity.
With strong expertise in power electronics and grid compliance, ABB is well placed to support India’s next phase of renewable energy expansion, where grid stability, regulatory alignment, and domestic manufacturing are increasingly critical. ABB India’s locally manufactured portfolio includes utility-scale solar inverters, power conversion systems for battery energy storage, and wind power converters—supporting the country’s integrated renewable energy strategy and its ambition to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
