वायु ऊर्जा सेक्टर में अनिवार्य R&D केंद्र और घरेलू आपूर्ति श्रृंखला निवेश (Mandatory Wind Energy R&D Centers & Domestic Supply Chain Capex)

Updated: Feb 20261 verified sources

Definition

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy renamed RLMM to ALMM Wind and mandated (effective July 31, 2025): (1) R&D center establishment in India within one year, (2) exclusive domestic sourcing of 65–70% of turbine cost (blades, towers, gearboxes, generators, bearings), (3) BIS certification mandatory from September 2026. Components subject to domestic sourcing represent ₹65–70 of every ₹100 turbine cost. Exemptions limited to pre-July 31, 2025 bids and new manufacturers (800 MW capacity over 2 years). Existing manufacturers without domestic supply relationships face forced investment or market exit.

Key Findings

Financial Impact: ₹20–100 crores per manufacturer for: (a) R&D center land, facilities, personnel (₹10–30 crores typical), (b) supplier qualification and redundancy (₹10–50 crores for blade/tower/gearbox partnerships), (c) BIS certification preparation (₹2–10 crores). SME manufacturers: ₹5–20 crores.
Frequency: One-time capex (2025–2026); ongoing operational cost for domestic supply chain premium (likely 5–15% cost increase vs. global sourcing)
Root Cause: Regulatory mandate to eliminate foreign-controlled energy infrastructure and boost domestic manufacturing utilization from 25–30% to 70–80%; targets Chinese manufacturer dominance.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Wind turbine manufacturers in India face ₹20–100 crores in unplanned R&D and supply-chain investment to comply with ALMM Wind (July 31, 2025 effective). Manufacturers without pre-existing domestic supply relationships face exclusion from new grid-connected projects.

₹500–1,500 crores sector-wide (estimated based on: (a) current capacity ₹2,000–2,500 crore at 25–30% utilization = ₹500–750 crore active, (b) idle portion = ₹750–1,500 crore; (c) carrying cost of idle assets at 8–12% = ₹60–180 crores annually). Per-manufacturer estimate: ₹10–50 crores (depending on plant size).
