New Delhi, India – GE Vernova Inc. that it has signed an agreement with Powerica Limited to supply 28 of its 3.8 MW–154m* onshore wind turbines for the Botad Wind Farm in Gujarat, India. The 100 MW project marks the debut of GE Vernova’s 3.8 MW workhorse turbine in the Indian market, a key milestone in the company’s strategy to expand its onshore wind portfolio in one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets.
The deal includes turbine supply and installation and further strengthens a partnership that has now delivered four wind farm projects together. Powerica secured the project’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) through a competitive auction conducted by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL). Deliveries for the project are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
GE Vernova also announced that it has been certified by India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and included on the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines (ALMM)—a mandatory requirement for wind turbine OEMs participating in India’s wind market.
The project will be supplied from GE Vernova’s manufacturing facility in Pune, India. At full capacity, the site is expected to support up to 1,500 MW of annual production capacity, strengthening local manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing GE Vernova’s long-term commitment to India’s wind industry.
India has set a target of 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, including 100 GW from wind power. GE Vernova’s Wind business surpassed 5 GW of installed capacity in India in 2025, underscoring the company’s long-standing role in supporting the country’s renewable energy growth.
