JSW Energy Commissions Wind Blade Manufacturing Plant in Gujarat, Strengthening Supply Chain​

JSW Energy Limited has successfully commissioned its wind blade manufacturing plant at Halol, Gujarat. This step marks a significant move toward vertically integrating its wind energy value chain and enhancing supply chain resilience within the company’s operations.

The commissioning of the facility supports JSW Energy's future growth plans for renewable power generation. The fully operational Halol plant has an annual production capacity of up to 450 wind blades, which is equivalent to 600 MW of wind projects. These plants are designed to manufacture 82-meter wind blades compatible with 4 MW Wind Turbine Generators.

This in house manufacturing capability aims to enable the company to optimize capital expenditure on wind energy projects by reducing logistics and input costs. Furthermore, it insulates JSW Energy from potential fluctuations in wind blade input prices and supports MNRE's domestic content requirements. The company also has another wind blade plant that is currently in advanced stages of commissioning at Chitradurga, Karnataka.

JSW Energy maintains an installed wind energy capacity of 3.9 GW. The company holds a portfolio comprising 6.5 GW of locked-in hybrid capacity (where wind is an integral component) and 2.4 GW of plain vanilla locked in wind projects, positioning it as one of the largest players in India's wind power sector.

The company has focused heavily on expanding its overall generation and energy storage capabilities across its diverse asset base.


Sharad Mahendra, Joint Managing Director and CEO of JSW Energy, stated that the Halol plant commissioning is a defining milestone in building a resilient and self-reliant renewable energy platform. He added that bringing critical manufacturing capabilities in house secures the supply chain against volatility while enhancing the cost competitiveness and returns of the company’s wind portfolio, reinforcing their commitment to delivering sustainable value for stakeholders.

JSW Energy aims to reach 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030. The company also has set a goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
