GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) has finalized an agreement to supply 28 of its 3.8MW-154m onshore wind turbines to Powerica for the 100MW Botad Wind Farm in Gujarat, India.
The order marks the first deployment of GE Vernova’s 3.8MW turbine model in the Indian market, making the partnership a significant milestone for both companies.
The two companies have previously collaborated on four wind farm projects, deepening a commercial relationship that now spans Gujarat’s growing renewable energy sector.
Powerica secured the project’s power purchase agreement through a competitive auction conducted by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam, India’s state-owned power distribution utility.
Powerica Whole Time Director Pradeep Gupta said: “We are pleased to be partnering with GE Vernova for our fourth project in the state of Gujarat.”
Gupta added: “The debut of GE Vernova’s 3.8MW-154m workhorse turbine, optimised for reliability and scale in the Indian market, makes this collaboration especially significant.”
He continued: “This 100MW project will strengthen our IPP [independent power producer] portfolio and further reinforce our commitment to delivering meaningful impact in the renewable energy sector.”
The turbines will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s Pune facility, with delivery scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, and installation is included within the scope of the agreement.
At full operational capacity, the Pune manufacturing facility is designed to support up to 1.5GW of wind turbine production annually, underlining the scale of GE Vernova’s Indian manufacturing commitment.
GE Vernova has also received certification from India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and secured a place on the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers of Wind Turbines.
GE Vernova India Onshore Wind Business General Manager Deepak Maloo said: “We are thrilled to partner with Powerica once again as we launch our newest workhorse turbine in India.”
Maloo further stated: “The 3.8MW-154m turbine is designed to deliver efficiency, reliability and strong performance for India’s wind conditions.”
GE Vernova reports that its wind business surpassed 5GW of installed capacity across India in 2025, reflecting the company’s long-standing presence in the market.
The company has been operating in India for more than 100 years, maintaining facilities in Pune, Bengaluru, and Vadodara across various business segments.
All next-generation GE Vernova wind turbines manufactured in India will incorporate the company’s AI-powered digital blade certification process, representing a significant technological advancement for the product line.
India has set a national target of 500GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, with 100GW of that total expected to come from wind generation.
Globally, GE Vernova’s wind turbine fleet comprises approximately 59,000 turbines, representing around 120GW of installed capacity across international markets.
The company also secured a contract earlier this year to supply 17 onshore wind turbines for a new project in Fortore, Benevento, Italy, with an output exceeding 100MW.
