To Lead Two High-Level Panel Discussions on Transmission Planning and Wind-Solar-BESS Firming Solutions
New Delhi, India, January 15th, 2026: The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), the representative body for India’s wind turbine manufacturers, announces its participation in the Bharat Renewable Expo 2026, scheduled from January 16–18 in Jaipur.
As part of the Expo, IWTMA is holding two wind sector-focused panel discussions examining priority issues for Rajasthan’s renewable energy transition. These include strengthening transmission infrastructure for higher renewable penetration and the evolving role of wind–solar–battery energy storage systems (BESS) in enabling firm, dispatchable renewable power. Senior officials from MNRE, the Rajasthan Government, and renewable energy industry leaders will be contributing to these deliberations.
The discussions will cover themes such as the expansion of the inter-state transmission system (ISTS) for India’s 500 GW renewable capacity target, the development of 765 kV and 400 kV corridors in Rajasthan, advancements in long-distance evacuation technologies, and market structures that support storage-integrated supply. IWTMA will also share sector insights on renewable energy curtailment, renewable energy zone planning, hybrid system optimisation, and evolving grid code compliance requirements.
“These platforms, especially at the State level, provide an opportunity for industry and policymakers to collectively assess emerging needs at the ground level and strengthen the renewable energy ecosystem,” said Aditya Pyasi, Chief Executive Officer, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association. “IWTMA remains committed to working collaboratively to support stable, long-term growth of wind energy in India.”
The Expo comes at a time when Rajasthan continues to play a central role in India’s renewable energy expansion, supported by large-scale hybrid developments in regions such as Bhadla. Representatives from MNRE, CERC, NTPC, Adani Power, ReNew, and institutions including the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are expected to be present.
IWTMA’s participation reflects its continued efforts to facilitate dialogue, encourage technological progress, and support the policy framework necessary for India to achieve 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030.
