India has high aspirations to achieve net-zero by 2070 and become a prominent player in offshore wind (OSW) energy. Although India has announced its ambition to develop OSW and has engaged in multiple OSW research projects and initiatives, deployment has not yet materialized. This report identifies the gaps in policy, frameworks, and delivery models that are inhibiting OSW acceleration in India.
Drawing insights from established and emerging OSW markets including Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America (New York State) Accelerating the Deployment of Offshore Wind in India offers a set of practical recommendations and strategic direction to the Government of India and other stakeholders to pave the way for the successful execution of future OSW projects in India.
Accelerating the Deployment of Offshore Wind in India was developed by BVG Associates (BVGA), a global leader in OSW industry building, with support from local Indian consultancy MEC+
