Saudi Arabia-based Alfanar Group’s subsidiary Senvion India plans to expand its annual manufacturing capacity to 2 GW by March 2026 and capture a 20-25% share of the domestic wind market, The Times of India reports. The firm — a leading wind turbine manufacturer — was acquired by Alfanar Group from its German parent company Senvion GmbH.

Capacity expansion: The company is setting up a new facility in the western Indian state of Gujarat that is expected to be operational by March 2026. Once complete, it will raise Senvion India’s total manufacturing capacity to 2 GW per year, up from the current 1.5 GW. The new plant will complement its blade manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu and nacelle plant in Maharashtra, improving supply chain integration across southern and western India.

Investment + output: The firm has invested about INR 200 mn (USD 23 mn) to expand its Tamil Nadu plant for longer blades measuring up to 90 meters. It reported revenues exceeding INR 2 bn (USD 228 mn) in FY 2024-25 and holds an order book of 600 MW for delivery through August 2026.

Product development: The Rajkot facility will produce next-generation turbines above 4 MW, with blade lengths of up to 95 meters. The company’s 4.2M160 turbine platform, co-developed by Indian and German engineering teams, was first installed in Tamil Nadu in June 2025.

ICYMI: In August 2025, India introduced new wind-turbine manufacturing norms that mandate sourcing key components locally and storing data domestically — moves expected to benefit domestic manufacturers like Senvion India while tightening competition for foreign suppliers, Reuters reports.
