Mundra, April 15 -- In a significant development for India's renewable energy sector, Adani Wind has commissioned a 5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine prototype at Mundra in Gujarat, marking a step forward in the country's transition to higher-capacity wind technologies.

The newly installed turbine features a 185-metre rotor diameter and 91.2-metre blades, making it one of the largest in India. Designed for low to medium wind speeds, the turbine is expected to improve energy generation efficiency and optimise land use--key priorities for India's expanding wind sector.

The development comes as India accelerates its shift towards larger and more efficient turbines to meet rising clean energy demand. Higher-capacity machines enable developers to...
