Wind energy contributes 60 gigawatts (GW) to India’s target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. However, in the last few years, the sector has witnessed an immense slowdown. In order to revitalise the sector and achieve the 60 GW target by 2022, this study examines the wind energy sector—its evolution over three decades and current challenges—and develops three scenarios that illustrate different pathways to achieve the minimum capacity required to reach 60 GW goal by 2022.
