KP Group has installed India’s first indigenously developed 4.2 MW wind turbine, marking a significant milestone in the country’s renewable energy manufacturing and technology ecosystem.

The turbine has been developed and installed by KP Group as part of its broader push to strengthen domestic clean energy capabilities and reduce dependence on imported wind technology. The project represents one of the largest onshore wind turbine capacities developed indigenously in India.

According to the company, the turbine features advanced aerodynamic design, higher hub height, and larger rotor diameter aimed at improving efficiency and power generation, particularly in low wind-speed regions. The move is expected to enhance India’s competitiveness in utility-scale wind energy deployment.

The installation aligns with the government’s focus on “Make in India” and localisation across strategic sectors, including renewable energy manufacturing. Industry experts note that domestic development of high-capacity turbines could help reduce project costs, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate capacity additions.

India’s wind energy sector has regained momentum in recent years, supported by policy reforms, hybrid renewable projects, and expanding transmission infrastructure. The country recently emerged as the world’s largest wind market outside China in 2025, reflecting growing deployment activity.
