KP Group has become the first company in India to install the Make in India 4.2 megawatt (MW) wind turbine generator model 4.2M160 manufactured by Senvion India, marking a milestone in the adoption of next-generation wind technology. The turbine was installed at a site in south Gujarat, and the company said the deployment demonstrates its focus on larger, more efficient renewable solutions. The installation forms part of a broader strategy to upgrade existing assets and integrate higher-capacity machines across the group portfolio. The company said the milestone strengthens its credentials as a partner for scalable renewable projects.

The 4.2M160 has a rated capacity of four point two MW, a 160-metre rotor diameter and a 140-metre hub height, and is engineered to maximise energy capture in low-to-medium wind regimes. Its larger swept area and advanced control systems are intended to improve generation output and operational efficiency while optimising lifecycle performance for utility-scale projects. Design features also allow improved performance under variable wind speeds and reduced levelised cost of energy over the asset life. The machine’s site-optimised design is aimed at delivering a higher annual energy yield at comparable sites.

The 4XM platform features a modular architecture that enables efficient transportation, faster installation and streamlined commissioning, improving serviceability and operational reliability. The platform is engineered and manufactured in India with over 85 per cent localisation and was included in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers in December 2025, the company said. Local manufacturing is expected to support domestic supply chains and reduce logistical complexity for large components.

KP Group traces its origins to 1994, when Dr Faruk G. Patel established the group, and over the past three decades it has expanded into renewable energy, infrastructure and innovation. The company said the installation reinforces its commitment to adopting advanced technologies that enhance generation efficiency and deliver long-term value and that operations and maintenance experience will inform future rollouts. The group intends to continue executing scalable renewable projects that contribute to India’s energy transition and national sustainability objectives.
