The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) is serving as a knowledge partner at India’s flagship RE event, the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit (BRES) 2026, being held in New Delhi from November 2 to 5. As part of the summit, IWTMA is facilitating industry-focused discussions and conversations around key priorities for India’s wind energy sector, bringing together policy and industry perspectives to build dialogue on accelerating wind energy deployment, strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities, and positioning India as a competitive player in global wind markets.
The summit, inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modiji, brings together over 75,000 participants from 130+ countries. The event features 400+ exhibitors, 500+ speakers across 80+ curated sessions, and the support of 25+ knowledge partners.
A key highlight of the summit will be the Wind Plenary on Wednesday, November 4. Curated by IWTMA for the wind industry ecosystem, the panel discussion will bring together eminent policymakers, industry leaders, and subject-matter experts.
Participants will include Shri Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, and Shri Santosh Sarangi, Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), joined by apex industry leader Shri Girish R. Tanti, Executive Vice-Chairman and Co-founder, Suzlon Energy.
“India stands as a beacon in the global renewable energy transition, with wind energy a cornerstone of Aatmanirbharta, strengthening domestic manufacturing, technological capabilities, and energy security. As MNRE’s Knowledge Partner for the wind industry at the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit 2026, IWTMA is hosting three high-level panel discussions alongside the Wind Plenary Session. These discussions bring together government and industry leaders to chart actionable pathways for accelerating deployment, deepening localization, and positioning India as a global hub for wind energy manufacturing and innovation,” said Mr. Aditya Pyasi, CEO, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association.
IWTMA was also associated with discussions on “Repowering India’s Aging Wind Fleet” today, November 3, as well as “Strengthening Wind Energy Manufacturing Ecosystem in India” and “Wind Turbine Technologies for Indian Conditions” on November 4. These sessions address key aspects of India’s wind energy ecosystem across manufacturing, asset optimization, and technology development, featuring senior industry and government representatives including Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA; Shri Rajesh Kulhari, Joint Secretary, MNRE; Shri Ajay Kapur, Group CEO, Suzlon Group; Dr. Saravanan Manickam, Vice Chairman, IWTMA and Country Head and MD, Nordex India; Shri RPV Prasad, MD, Envision Energy; Ms. Rebecca Williams, Deputy CEO, GWEC, and other industry leaders.
IWTMA will also represent the wind industry in roundtables such as “The 2 Terawatt Horizon: Scaling Wind Power for Global Energy Security” and “From Mines to Modules to Molecules: Building India’s Global Cleantech Manufacturing Edge” on November 5.
With India targeting 100 GW of wind capacity by 2030 and an annual wind turbine manufacturing capacity of approximately 24 GW, BRES 2026 provides a platform to deliberate on the policy and industry interventions needed to accelerate deployment, strengthen supply-chain resilience, and position India as a competitive global hub for wind manufacturing and exports.
