Maharashtra's Position in India's Wind Energy Pipeline
Maharashtra is one of the more active states in India's wind energy development pipeline. Projects India tracks 338 wind-based power projects across India, of which 58 are located in Maharashtra — making it the second-largest state by tracked project count in this sub-sector, behind Gujarat with 124 projects. Other significant states include Andhra Pradesh with 42 tracked projects, Karnataka with 36, Tamil Nadu with 25, and Madhya Pradesh with 21.
Among recently tracked Maharashtra wind projects, Sunsure Energy has a wind power project at Sangli that has reached the construction stage, illustrating that development activity in the state extends beyond regulatory proceedings.
Stage Breakdown Across India's Wind Project Pipeline
Of the 338 wind-based power projects tracked by Projects India nationally, the largest cohort — 120 projects — sits at the Under Approvals stage, where regulatory decisions such as deadline extensions from APTEL have direct bearing on progress. A further 55 projects are at the Planning stage, 55 have moved into Construction Started, 8 have received approvals, and 5 are at an Early or Announced stage. Eighty-four projects are recorded as Completed.
The concentration of projects in the Under Approvals and Planning stages points to a substantial volume of work that has yet to move into procurement and construction, making regulatory outcomes — including tribunal rulings on deadlines — consequential for the broader supply chain. Suppliers and contractors monitoring India's power projects sector will note that movement from Under Approvals into Construction Started represents a key conversion point for commercial opportunity.
Recent Construction Activity in Wind Power Across India
Several wind and hybrid wind projects tracked by Projects India have recently moved into or are progressing through the construction phase. These include a Rs 1,800 crore wind project by Serentica Renewables India Private Limited at Koppal, Karnataka; a Rs 944 crore wind-solar hybrid project by AMPIN Energy Utility Private Limited in Rajasthan; a Rs 468 crore wind project by KPI Green Energy Limited at Bharuch, Gujarat; a Rs 264 crore wind project by Sprng Akshaya Urja Private Limited at Dindigul, Tamil Nadu; and a Rs 163 crore wind farm by National Aluminium Company Limited at Kayathar, Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu.
These active construction projects represent near-term demand for turbines, civil works, grid interconnection equipment, and related services across multiple states. Details on the full pipeline of tracked projects are available on the Projects India platform.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
For suppliers and contractors, the APTEL deadline extension signals that the 72.6 MW Maharashtra project remains live within the regulatory process rather than lapsed or cancelled. Projects that obtain extended deadlines from APTEL typically must still complete development milestones, meaning procurement and construction activity may follow once regulatory conditions are met.
Maharashtra's tally of 58 tracked wind projects — with a significant portion still Under Approvals — suggests a pipeline of work that could progressively enter procurement over coming periods. Suppliers active in wind turbine supply, foundation and civil construction, electrical balance-of-plant, and transmission infrastructure should monitor Maharashtra alongside Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, which collectively account for the majority of India's tracked wind project activity.
With 120 projects nationally sitting at the Under Approvals stage, regulatory decisions by bodies such as APTEL have an outsized effect on when projects transition to active tendering. Contractors are advised to track regulatory outcomes alongside construction-stage movements to anticipate demand. At present, Projects India records no open tenders in the Power Projects sector on its platform.
