Adani to manufacture India's longest wind turbine blades
Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) is rolling out India's longest onshore wind turbine blades—each a massive 91.2 meters—at its Mundra, Gujarat plant.
These giant blades are set for production by 2026 and will help tap wind energy even in areas with less wind.
Each blade is about as long as a football field
Each blade is about as long as a football field and taller than a 30-story building. When spinning, they sweep an area bigger than three football fields, making them super efficient at catching wind.
ANIL's factory can currently produce blades with an annual manufacturing capacity of 2.25GW (equivalent to about 450 blade sets), with plans to scale up to 10GW.
Investments in wind manufacturing so far are estimated at ₹3,000cr
Investments in wind manufacturing so far are estimated at up to ₹3,000 crore, and future capital expenditure is expected to focus on automation, tooling and materials research (including recyclable blade materials).
Longer blades mean more energy from slower winds, so clean power can reach more places across India—not just the windiest spots.
This move gives a real boost to India's renewable energy goals and shows how tech can drive greener growth.
