Senvion India’s 4.2 MW Wind Turbine Added to MNRE’s ALMM List

Company secures over 600 MW in confirmed orders and a 2 GW multi-year supply agreement for the newly approved platform

Senvion India has achieved a key regulatory milestone with the inclusion of its latest 4.2M160 wind turbine model in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s (MNRE) Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) – Wind.

The approval allows the company to deploy the turbine across projects that require full compliance with MNRE’s listing framework, which governs model qualification and quality standards in India’s wind energy sector.

Strengthening Domestic Manufacturing and Quality Standards

The ALMM (Wind) mechanism—earlier referred to as the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM)—is designed to enhance quality assurance while promoting localisation in wind power equipment manufacturing. Recent policy updates under the framework have further reinforced the government’s push to expand domestic value chains and reduce reliance on imports.

Senvion’s 4.2M160 turbine, rated at 4.2 MW with a 160-metre rotor diameter, has been approved for hub heights of up to 140 metres, making it suitable for a wide range of onshore wind applications across India.

Strong Order Book Signals Market Confidence

Alongside the regulatory approval, Senvion India has already secured firm orders exceeding 600 MW for the 4.2M160 model. In addition, the company has entered into a long-term framework agreement covering 2 GW of capacity, scheduled to be executed over the next three years.

Leadership Commentary

Commenting on the development, Amit Kansal, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Senvion India, said the ALMM listing represents a significant step in aligning the company’s strategy with India’s clean energy and manufacturing ambitions.

He noted that the turbine has been designed, engineered, and industrialised in India, contributing to the expansion of local production capabilities and supporting the country’s long-term energy security objectives. Kansal added that deeper localisation and a strengthened domestic supply chain would enable customers to access a future-ready, India-built technology platform offering consistent performance over its operational life.

Technology Tailored for Indian Conditions

According to the company, the 4.2M160 turbine incorporates multiple advanced features customised for India’s diverse climatic and site conditions. The model reportedly achieves a localisation level exceeding 85%, supported by manufacturing facilities across the country for blades, towers, nacelles, and hubs.

The turbine is equipped with 78.5-metre ReT blades featuring integrated lightning protection and offers high derating thresholds of up to 45°C, enabled through a hybrid active-passive cooling system. It also supports single-blade installation, improving logistical efficiency in complex terrain.

In addition, the platform is integrated with Senvion’s FleetPro SCADA system, which provides real-time performance monitoring, predictive maintenance analytics, and compliance with grid and cybersecurity requirements. AI-driven adaptive controls further optimise energy generation in low-wind conditions, positioning the turbine as a performance-focused and future-ready solution.

Growing Footprint in India

Senvion has been operating in India since 2016 and currently has manufacturing capacity of around 2 GW. The company’s installed and operational wind portfolio in the country exceeds 1.5 GW, underscoring its expanding presence in India’s renewable energy landscape.
