Global automation giant ABB has officially dispatched its first wind power converter from India, marking a milestone after acquiring Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025. 

 

Manufactured at ABB’s cutting-edge Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru, the delivery to a wind turbine OEM underscores the company’s growing commitment to renewable energy in India and globally.

 

The shipment represents a key step in integrating Gamesa Electric’s proven wind energy conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio. The move aligns with India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives, strengthening ABB’s local footprint in wind power while complementing its broader renewable offerings, including utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

 

“Wind energy plays a critical role in the energy transition. By delivering advanced power conversion technologies that are locally manufactured in India and engineered for effective grid integration, we are strengthening the integration of wind power into the grid and supporting the scale-up of renewable energy worldwide," said Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India. 

 

"This also reinforces India’s position as a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing and deployment.”

 

India is emerging as a global renewable energy powerhouse, with wind at the forefront. Now the world’s third-largest wind manufacturing base, the country is expected to meet around 10% of global wind demand and expand installed wind capacity to 107 GW by 2030, reflecting its rising importance in the international renewable ecosystem.

 

The acquisition of Gamesa Electric enhances ABB’s renewable power conversion capabilities, enabling the company to provide comprehensive utility-scale solutions across wind, solar, and BESS, while expanding its serviceable installed base of wind converters by approximately 46 GW — nearly one-fifth of India’s current renewable energy capacity.
