Envision Energy is expanding its manufacturing footprint in India. The company, which already boasts a 45% market share, is investing in Make in India initiatives, opening a third manufacturing unit in Gujarat for blades, alongside existing facilities in Tiruchirappalli (blades) and Pune (nacelles and hubs).
Envision Energy aims to significantly boost the company’s manufacturing capacity and workforce, from 3,000 to over 7,000 by FY28.
The company’s commitment to India is further solidified by the recent RLMM approval for its new 5 MW wind turbine, the EN 182-5.0 MW, designed specifically for Indian wind conditions.
Adding to its strong market position, Envision Energy recently secured crucial RLMM approval for its new 5 MW wind turbine (EN 182-5.0 MW), a mandatory requirement for deployment in India.
This approval unlocks a 2 GW order book for the company, with deliveries slated to commence in Q3 2025. This advanced turbine, designed for Indian wind conditions, promises over 40% higher annual energy production, making projects viable even in lower wind speed areas.
Currently, Envision’s strategy is squarely focused on “For India, By India,” catering to the robust domestic demand. While not exporting at present, the company plans to explore international markets post-2027, once its Indian operations are fully established.
With an existing order book of nearly 15 GW and a 45% market share, Envision Energy is strategically positioned to lead India’s ambitious clean energy transition.
However, this ambitious expansion comes with a caveat. RPV Prasad, Envision Energy India’s Managing Director, has voiced concerns over the Indian government’s proposed mandate requiring wind turbine component localization within a stringent six-month timeframe.
While Envision plans to bring generator and gearbox manufacturing in-house by 2027 to comply, Prasad warns that such rapid localization could initially inflate wind turbine prices. He advocates for a more gradual, one-year transition period to foster domestic competitiveness effectively.
