ABB has dispatched its first locally manufactured wind power converter from its Nelamangala facility in India, following the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business. This move reinforces ABB’s commitment to advancing the energy transition through wind, solar, and energy storage technologies. The new converters are expected to strengthen India’s renewable energy capabilities with advanced technologies. The project aligns with India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Wind Power Converter Dispatch
ABB announced the dispatch of its first wind power converter in India after the acquisition of Gamesa Electric power electronic business in December 2025. Manufactured at the Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru, this delivery reaffirms ABB’s commitment to the renewable energy and wind power sectors, both in India and globally.
Renewable Energy Integration
The dispatch represents a significant step in integrating Gamesa Electric’s power electronics proven wind energy conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio. Aligned with the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and the country’s push for ‘Make in India’, ABB is solidifying its Indian footprint in the renewable energy sector with a focus on wind power, supported by a broader portfolio spanning utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Supporting India’s Energy Transition
According to Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd., delivering advanced power conversion technologies manufactured locally in India will strengthen the integration of wind power into the grid and support the scale-up of renewable energy. This move reinforces India’s position as a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing and deployment.
India as a Global Hub
India is rapidly consolidating its position as a global renewable energy manufacturing and deployment hub, with wind power at the heart of this transformation. As the world’s 3rd largest wind manufacturing base, India is expected to meet around 10 percent of global wind demand and scale installed wind capacity to 107 GW by 2030, underscoring its growing importance in the global renewable energy ecosystem.
ABB’s Renewable Energy Commitment
ABB has played a key role in advancing renewable energy globally for over 15 years, delivering more than 60,000 wind converters and generators worldwide. The acquisition significantly strengthens ABB’s renewable power conversion capabilities, enabling the company to offer comprehensive, utility-scale solutions across wind, solar, and battery energy storage, while expanding its serviceable installed base of wind converters by approximately 46 gigawatts.
With deep expertise in power electronics and grid integration, ABB is well positioned to support India’s next phase of renewable energy growth. ABB India’s comprehensive renewable portfolio spans utility-scale solar inverters, power conversion systems (PCS) for battery energy storage systems (BESS), and converters for wind power, all manufactured locally to support India’s integrated renewable energy vision and contribute to the country’s target of 500 GW renewable energy by 2030.
