The study assess the techno-economic on-shore wind potential in India at three hub-heights – 80m, 100m, and 120m. Assuming a turbine density of 9 MW/km2, the total wind potential in India with a minimum capacity factor of 20 percent ranges from 2,006 GW at 80m hub-height to 3,121 GW at 120m hub-height.

Wind potential estimates in India needed to be reassessed to keep pace with improving technologies in the field. This study shows that the country had the capacity to yield wind power in the range of 600 to 1000 GW with current available technologies.
