India and Denmark Deepen Cooperation on Offshore Wind

India and Denmark discussed expanding cooperation in offshore wind, green hydrogen and the integration of renewable energy into electricity systems on November 3, as the countries sought to deepen their 30-year partnership. The discussions took place during the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026 in New Delhi.

Denmark’s business and competitiveness minister Martin Lidegaard met India’s new and renewable energy minister Pralhad Joshi on the sidelines of the summit. The meeting focused on strengthening collaboration between governments, businesses and research institutions, while supporting investment in India’s expanding renewable energy sector.

India’s installed wind energy capacity is nearly 60 GW, about eight times Denmark’s capacity, according to a statement issued by the Danish government. India is targeting 100 GW of installed wind capacity by 2030 after recording annual installations of 6.05 GW in FY26.

Joshi said India’s non-fossil fuel-based installed capacity had risen from 200 GW in September 2024 to 310 GW, representing an addition of more than 110 GW in two years. The renewable energy sector attracted more than $67 bn in investment during the period, including $6.2 bn in foreign direct investment.

India’s wind power capacity has increased from 21 GW in 2014 to about 60 GW, while domestic wind turbine manufacturing capacity has expanded from 10 GW to 24 GW. Denmark’s country session at the summit examined energy system integration, the pace of the green transition and energy security. An International Energy Agency report co-funded by Denmark was also launched, covering policy and market developments, as well as challenges and opportunities in India’s renewable energy expansion.
