The central government is set to float offshore wind energy tenders totalling 4 GW in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.

The move forms part of the government’s broader strategy to boost wind energy capacity, backed by a 53 per cent increase in the renewable energy budget to Rs 265.49 billion for 2025–26. The centre is focusing on five key areas to unlock India’s wind energy potential—expansion into new states such as Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha; leasing 4 GW of offshore wind zones; hybrid integration with solar and storage and investments in artificial intelligence based forecasting and grid upgrades; and domestic manufacturing support.
