Vayona Energy dedicated its next-generation wind turbine, Vayona 5.0/193, built on an all-new 5 MW onshore wind turbine platform, to the nation at Windergy India 2026.
In a release, Vayona Energy said that the platform, developed in close collaboration with Aerovide GmbH, brings together German design and engineering expertise with Vayona’s deep understanding of India’s operating environment, manufacturing capabilities and lifecycle service network.
Featuring a 193-m rotor, the platform is being developed to maximise energy yield across India’s diverse wind conditions, including low and ultra-low wind conditions while operating reliably in high-temperature environments. The platform reflects a clear product ambition: to deliver a world-class wind turbine engineered for Indian site conditions and manufactured in India through a local supply chain for major components.
The platform marks Vayona’s expansion into the 5 MW segment and broadens its ability to address evolving project requirements.
Digital-twin enabled wind turbines
The platform is being developed with native digital twin-enabled wind turbines. Integrated with Vayona’s in-house Remote Operations Centre (ROC), the platform is intended to enable continuous performance monitoring, early identification of emerging issues and more predictive maintenance. This digital architecture is designed to improve turbine availability, support timely field interventions and protect performance across the asset lifecycle.
Improving project economics
According to Prashant Jain, Executive Vice Chairman, Vayona Energy, “India’s next phase of wind growth will require technology that can unlock more sites, improve project economics and perform reliably across demanding operating conditions. The Vayona 5.0/193 represents our ambition to build a world-class wind turbine platform in India, backed by German engineering and strengthened by Vayona’s manufacturing, project execution and lifecycle service capabilities. It is an important step towards making India a centre for advanced wind technology and manufacturing.”
Serving a broad range of applications
The platform is intended for a broad range of applications, including standalone wind projects, wind-solar hybrid projects, firm and dispatchable renewable energy solutions, and projects serving the renewable power requirements of commercial and industrial customers. The unveiling builds on milestones achieved during Vayona’s first year, including restart of manufacturing operations, securing new orders, and the production of its first blade. The addition of the 5.0/193 alongside its 3X platform marks a further step in the company’s growth, extending its offering to meet a wider range of wind energy requirements, the release added.
