It has been a steady rise for Gamesa India as the number-one turbine OEM by market share. How do you see the evolution from the beginning in terms of the changing industry scenario in India and Gamesa's contribution to it?
Having served the industry for over two decades I have witnessed some radical changes that have been brought about in the wind industry in India with respect to its acceptance, growth, and the government's attitude towards shifting from the convention to the non-conventional.

When we started way back in early 1994, the wind industry was really just picking up at that time and we had these small turbines - 220 to 250 kilo watt turbines. But today as we see our economy progressing and the acute power shortage we need to account for, the emergence of newer innovations with bigger and greater capacity such as the 2.0 MW is no surprise. It has been a big improvement in terms of technology, efficiency as well as output.

Gamesa, in India, over the last five years has come a long way. Since our inception we have steadily strengthened our roots and spread our reach across the length and breadth of the nation. It was in 2010 that we inaugurated our assembly cum manufacturing facilities and since then there has been no looking back.

One of our greatest innovations the G97-2.0 MW custom-designed for the low wind speed sites typical of India has been signed on by majority of our key clientele testifying their trust in our technology prowess and ability to adapt.

Today, having achieved 85 percent indigenisation in the G97-2.0MW platform, we have emerged as the market leader capturing 28 per cent of the India market. Today, as we see the thrust for renewables, we are in the process of launching our latest innovation, the G114 2.0 MW turbines which we are confident will be a game changer in the wind space.
