In order to beef up its clean energy portfolio, the government wants to build 30 GW offshore wind capacity by 2030, a move which may bring India in the list of leading markets in the segment.
India has set itself a target of achieving 175 GW renewable energy target by 2022, which the government is expected to exceed by additional 50 GW within the same timeline, Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy RK Singh recently announced.
The ministry has earlier announced a short-term target of setting up 5 GW offshore wind capacity by 2022.
Globally, UK tops the list of offshore wind markets, followed by Germany, Taiwan, China and the USA.
