Wind turbine industry demand for export incentives

Notes

• The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) has requested the Ministry for New and Renewable Energy for an export-linked incentive scheme to improve global cost competitiveness.
• Proposed incentive structures include turnover-linked incentives for exports and per-megawatt incentives for 5-7 years.
• Industry seeks government support for domestic manufacturing of critical components like large bearings and flanges, as India currently lacks sufficient forging facilities for larger platforms (e.g., 5 MW).
• Proposed financial support includes export finance and domestic buyer credit facilities to boost demand.
• IWTMA suggests leveraging ongoing EU-India FTA negotiations to secure better market access and reciprocal trade advantages for Indian wind turbine equipment.
• Renewable energy (wind and solar) faces lower capacity utilisation factors (21% for solar, 36-40% for wind) compared to coal (85%), leading to grid curtailment issues.
• Curtailment is defined as the practice where grid operators limit output from renewable sources to ensure grid stability.
