Project database firm ProjectsToday anticpates that India would add 6,000 MW of wind-power capacity over 2007-12, below the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's (MNRE) target of 10,500 MW. The probable reason for the shortfall is unavailability of land.
However KPMG Advisory Services considers MNRE's targets as feasible, as India is currently adding 1,800-2,000 MW per year, mainly driven by the GoI's incentives for power generated by wind.
India is currently the fourth largest generator of wind power in the world with a capacity of 8,696 MW, even ahead of China's 5,899 MW. During the 10th Plan (2002-07), India saw installation of 5,426 MW of wind-power generation capacity, vs. the target of 2,200 MW.
