With emphasis on Cleaner Energy, India has started to give priority to renewable sources of energy.
As of November 2008 the installed capacity of wind power in India has 9587.14 MW of wind generating capacity and is the fourth largest market in the world. Indian Wind Energy Association has estimated that with the current level of technology, the on-shore potential for utilization of wind energy for electricity generation is of the order of 65,000 MW. It is estimated that 6,000 MW of additional wind power capacity will be installed in India by 2012. Wind power accounts for 6% of India's total installed power capacity, and it generates 1.6% of the country's power.
