Senvion India Unveils 4.2 MW Wind Turbine Prototype at Windergy India 2025

Senvion India has unveiled its 4.2 MW wind turbine generator (WTG) prototype at Windergy India 2025 in Chennai, marking a major milestone in India’s drive toward localised, high-efficiency renewable energy technologies. The launch event, held at the Chennai Trade Centre, was graced by Pralhad Venkatesh Joshi, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution.

Developed on Senvion’s modular 4XM platform and featuring over 85% locally sourced components, the new 4.2M160 turbine integrates a 160-metre rotor, advanced control systems, and data-driven operations and maintenance (O&M) technologies. Together, these innovations enhance annual energy yield while reducing the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE).

“Engineered in India but adaptable to all global wind regimes, the 4XM platform is made in India — for India and the world,” the company stated.

Highlighting the significance of the launch, Minister Joshi said:

“The 4.2 MW turbine is a testament to the success of the ‘Make in India’ initiative under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With around 80–85% of components sourced domestically, this achievement underscores India’s commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat and clean energy self-reliance. It stands as a symbol of India’s green growth and engineering excellence.”

Amit Kansal, CEO and Managing Director of Senvion India, added:

“We committed to delivering a modern, modular, and deeply localised platform that enables independent power producers (IPPs) to capture more energy at a lower lifecycle cost — and we’ve delivered. The 4.2M160 is fully operational, generating power, and ready to scale with our suppliers and partners.”

The 4XM platform architecture allows for rapid introduction of future variants and faster lead times for site-specific configurations. Serial production of the 4.2 MW turbine is slated to begin in 2026, supported by a strong 500+ MW project pipeline already in development.

With nearly 1.5 GW of installed wind capacity in India, Senvion continues to expand its local R&D, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, strengthening domestic supply chains and advancing India’s 2030 renewable energy goals.
