GE Vernova Debuts Three Point Eight MW Turbine in India

GE Vernova Inc has signed a supply agreement to deliver wind turbines for the Botad Wind Farm in Gujarat to Powerica Limited, with a 100 MW order that marks the debut of its three point eight megawatt (MW) workhorse turbine in India. The contract covers supply and installation of turbines for the project awarded through a competitive auction run by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL). The companies have now partnered on four wind farm projects in India.

Powerica secured the largest share of the GUVNL tender, taking about 106.40 MW at a tariff of Rs three point four four per unit, and was awarded this project alongside K.P Group which won a 50 MW project at the same tariff. Patel Infrastructure and ALFANAR Power were also successful in the round, receiving 100 MW and 50 MW awards at a tariff of Rs three point four three per unit respectively. Other bidders that did not meet the cut-off tariff included Juniper Green Energy and Jindal India Power. GE Vernova indicated that deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

GE Vernova will source the turbines from its manufacturing facility in Pune, supported by a Technology Centre in Bengaluru and a blade plant in Vadodara. The Pune site is set to support up to 1,500 MW of annual production capacity, strengthening local manufacturing capabilities. The company noted a global installed base of approximately 59,000 turbines representing nearly 120 GW of capacity.

The three point eight MW–154 metre rotor model is presented as optimised for Indian wind conditions and includes features such as a 30-year turbine life, lightning protection and an AI-powered digital blade certification process for every blade. The design allows installation with a 650 tonne (t) crane and a tabular steel tower for faster execution and higher uptime. GE Vernova stated that ALMM certification and local production will enable support for customers as India advances towards its 500 GW renewable ambition. Powerica described the order as a reinforcement of its independent power producer portfolio.
