ABB has announced the dispatch of its first wind power converter in India after the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025.
Manufactured and shipped from the state-of-the-art Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru, India, this milestone delivery to a wind turbine OEM reaffirms ABB’s expanded commitment to the renewable energy and wind power sectors, both in India and globally, a release by ABB India said.
The dispatch represents a significant step in integrating Gamesa Electric’s power electronics proven wind energy conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio. Aligned with the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and the country’s push for ‘Make in India’, ABB is solidifying its Indian footprint in the renewable energy sector with a strengthened focus on wind power, supported by a broader portfolio spanning utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Key role in RE sector
ABB has played a key role in advancing renewable energy globally for over 15 years, delivering more than 60,000 wind converters and generators worldwide. Building on this legacy, the acquisition significantly strengthens ABB’s renewable power conversion capabilities, enabling the company to offer comprehensive, utility-scale solutions across wind, solar, and battery energy storage, while expanding its serviceable installed base of wind converters by approximately 46 gigawatts. This ABB global figure is equivalent to nearly one-fifth of India’s current installed renewable energy capacity.
Well positioned
With deep expertise in power electronics and grid integration, ABB is well positioned to support India’s next phase of renewable energy growth, where grid reliability, compliance with evolving regulations, and local manufacturing are increasingly important. ABB India’s comprehensive renewable portfolio spans utility-scale solar inverters, power conversion systems (PCS) for battery energy storage systems (BESS), and converters for wind power, all manufactured locally to support India’s integrated renewable energy vision and contribute to the country’s target of 500 GW renewable energy by 2030, the release added.
