GE Vernova has signed an agreement with Mumbai-based developer Powerica Limited to supply 28 of its 3.8 MW-154m onshore wind turbines for the 100 MW Botad Wind Farm in Gujarat, marking the India debut of the company's newest workhorse platform and the fourth wind farm the two partners have delivered together.
A Workhorse Built for Indian Wind
The 3.8 MW turbine with a 154-meter rotor is designed for a 30-year turbine life, advanced lightning protection and what GE Vernova calls the industry's first digital blade certificate on every blade produced. The company says a tubular steel tower and 650-tonne crane installation capability allow faster, more cost-effective execution, while fleet-leading service factors across major components target maximum uptime in India's wind conditions. The deal covers both turbine supply and installation, with deliveries expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Local Manufacturing and ALMM Certification
The order will be fulfilled from GE Vernova's manufacturing facility in Pune, which at full capacity is expected to support up to 1,500 MW of annual production. Alongside the order, GE Vernova announced it has been certified by India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and added to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines (ALMM), a mandatory requirement for turbine OEMs selling into the Indian market. Powerica, an independent power producer operating roughly 253 MW of wind assets, secured the project's power purchase agreement through a competitive auction run by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited.
India's 500 GW Race
India has set a target of 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, including 100 GW from wind, and GE Vernova's wind business passed 5 GW of installed capacity in the country in 2025. The order adds to a wave of clean-energy buildout news this summer, from distributed solar safe-harbor deals in the U.S. to new small modular reactor projects in Ohio, as grid operators worldwide chase firm and renewable capacity at once. For GE Vernova, whose global fleet spans roughly 59,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW, the Botad project is a calculated bet that a reliability-first turbine tuned to local conditions can win share in one of the world's fastest-growing wind markets.
