India’s offshore wind (OSW) sector presents a significant opportunity for clean energy and socioeconomic development. It has a target of 37 GW to be auctioned by the end of 2030, supporting its broader clean energy transition and net-zero commitment by 2070. The sector is expected to generate substantial local gross value added (GVA) and employment across the lifecycle of projects.
Socioeconomic impacts and skills development for Indian offshore wind quantifies the socioeconomic impacts of India’s OSW sector and identifies opportunities for skills development for Indian offshore wind.
The Socioeconomic impacts and skills development for Indian offshore wind study was conducted by BVG Associates, with support from ClimateHub India Advisors and involved extensive stakeholder engagement.
