JSW Energy Inaugurates Halol Wind Blade Manufacturing Facility, Expands Clean Energy Capabilities.

JSW Energy Limited has announced the commissioning of its wind blade manufacturing facility at Halol, Gujarat, marking a key step in strengthening its wind energy value chain and reducing supply chain dependencies.

The company said the development supports its broader strategy of vertical integration in renewable energy manufacturing while enhancing control over costs, logistics, and production timelines for its wind power portfolio.

JSW Energy currently operates an installed wind energy capacity of 3.9 GW. It also has 6.5 GW of locked-in hybrid capacity—where wind forms a core component—and 2.4 GW of dedicated wind projects under development, positioning it among India’s leading wind energy players.

The newly commissioned Halol facility has an annual production capacity of up to 450 wind blades, equivalent to approximately 600 MW of wind projects. The plant will manufacture 82-metre blades designed for 4 MW wind turbine generators. A second manufacturing unit at Chitradurga, Karnataka, is also in advanced stages of commissioning.

The company said in-house blade production will help reduce exposure to global supply chain disruptions, align with domestic content requirements set by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), and improve project economics by lowering logistics and input costs. It also aims to reduce volatility in raw material pricing for wind turbine components.

Commenting on the milestone, Joint Managing Director and CEO Sharad Mahendra said the Halol plant represents a key step toward building a more resilient and self-reliant renewable energy platform, while improving cost competitiveness and long-term returns from the company’s wind portfolio.

JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 32.1 GW, including 13.7 GW operational capacity and 13.8 GW under construction across thermal, hydro, and renewable segments, along with a 4.6 GW development pipeline. The company also has 29.6 GWh of locked-in energy storage capacity, comprising pumped hydro and battery energy storage systems, and is targeting 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of storage capacity by 2030, alongside a net-zero commitment by 2050.
