Envision Energy India announced that its latest wind turbine model, the EN 182-5.0 MW, has been officially added to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM), a key regulatory requirement for deploying wind turbines in India.
The new turbine features a 181-metre rotor diameter, a 105.56-metre hub height, and 89-metre blades mounted on a tubular steel tower, according to the company. With this approval, Envision Energy is now positioned to move forward on its 2 GW order book tied to the EN 182-5.0 MW platform. Deliveries to independent power producers (IPPs) are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
Production is being ramped up at the company’s blade manufacturing facility in Tiruchirappalli and its nacelle and hub plant in Pune to meet demand. Compared to the previous EN 156/3.3 MW platform, the new model increases annual energy production by over 40%, offering improved efficiency, especially in areas with moderate wind resources.
RPV Prasad, Managing Director of Envision Energy India, said: “The RLMM listing confirms the reliability and performance of our 5MW platform. This turbine has been specifically engineered for Indian wind conditions and will allow our customers to achieve strong energy output even in low wind zones. It’s a step forward in making wind energy more viable and cost-effective across a broader range of sites.”
With a substantial investment of ₹500 crore, Envision has firmly positioned India as a strategic hub in its global operations, generating over 3,000 jobs across the country. As a leading wind turbine OEM, Envision holds a dominant 41% market share in India’s wind energy sector. The company has established an impressive 3 GW annual manufacturing capacity—nacelle and hub production based in Pune and blade manufacturing in Trichy.
Envision has already secured over 10 GW of projects from 22 Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and operates across six states with more than 60 active project sites. To date, it has installed over 2 GW and commissioned 1 GW of wind projects in India, with plans underway to localize the assembly of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) components, further deepening its presence and capability in the country.
Beyond its industrial achievements, Envision has been recognized as a “Great Place to Work” by the GPTW Institute and has actively contributed to social development through its CSR initiatives. The company’s efforts span environmental sustainability, education and skill development, and health and sanitation. Notably, Envision has planted 7,700 saplings across six states, including fragile regions like the Sundarbans Mangrove, and supported the restoration of the historic Chennarayana Durga Fort in Karnataka. Additionally, it has promoted e-mobility and sustainability through awareness campaigns that have covered over 8,000 km across five states, reinforcing its commitment to a greener and more sustainable future for India.
