GE Vernova has announced a series of strategic developments that reinforce its long-term commitment to India’s renewable energy sector, including the launch of its latest 3.8 MW–154m onshore wind turbine in the country, a new 100 MW project with Powerica Limited, inclusion on India’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), and continued expansion of its manufacturing footprint in Pune. The company has signed an agreement with Powerica Limited to supply and install 28 units of its newly introduced 3.8 MW–154m turbine for the Botad Wind Farm in Gujarat. The project marks the first deployment of the platform in India and further strengthens a partnership that has now delivered four wind energy projects together.
Powerica secured the project through a competitive power procurement process conducted by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL). Turbine deliveries are scheduled to commence during the fourth quarter of 2026.The introduction of the new turbine platform comes as India accelerates efforts to expand renewable energy capacity. Designed specifically for local operating conditions, the turbine combines high energy output with enhanced reliability and operational efficiency. Key features include a design life of up to 30 years, advanced lightning protection systems, digital blade certification technology and installation capabilities that support faster project execution.
GE Vernova also announced that it has received certification from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and has been included on the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), a prerequisite for participation in India’s wind energy market. The approval positions the company to support a wider range of projects as wind installations continue to scale across the country.
All turbines for the Botad project will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s facility in Pune. Once fully ramped up, the plant is expected to support annual production capacity of up to 1,500 MW, strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities and contributing to India’s clean energy supply chain.
Deepak Maloo, General Manager, Onshore Wind Business, GE Vernova India, said, “The launch of our 3.8 MW–154m turbine represents an important step in expanding our wind technology portfolio for India. Combined with ALMM certification and local manufacturing capabilities, we are well positioned to support customers as the country advances its renewable energy ambitions.”
With more than a century of presence in India and over 5 GW of installed wind capacity in the country, GE Vernova continues to play a significant role in supporting the transition toward a more sustainable, reliable and affordable energy future. The company’s operations include manufacturing, engineering and technology centers across Pune, Bengaluru and Vadodara, serving both domestic and international markets.
