India-U.K. Offshore Wind Task Force Launched

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

The task force will focus on assessing resource potential, de risking projects for financiers and expanding domestic manufacturing capacity for turbines and components. It will work to harmonise standards, expedite permitting and develop skills through targeted training programmes to support project construction and operation. The task force is also expected to explore export opportunities for domestically manufactured components and to support local supply chain linkages.

India has crossed 272 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil fuel power capacity, marking a significant milestone in its energy transition and expanding the share of renewables and low carbon sources in the power mix. The milestone reflects growth in solar, onshore wind, hydroelectric and nuclear capacity and underlines the challenge of integrating variable generation into the grid. Policy makers noted that stronger transmission planning and storage solutions will be important to ensure system stability and efficient utilisation.

The new bilateral workstream is expected to complement domestic efforts to scale renewable manufacturing, stimulate job creation and enable technology transfer. Stakeholders will monitor progress and pursue measures to mobilise both public and private finance while addressing environmental and social safeguards. The collaboration is positioned as a step towards meeting long term climate and energy security objectives. Governments will review interim recommendations periodically.
