9DECEMBER 2025JSW ENERGY ENTERS WIND BLADE MANUFACTURING IN KARNATAKA AND GUJARATBEML LIMITED BAGS 110 CRORE CONTRACT BY MINISTRY OF DEFENSEJSW Energy is moving further in renewable production. It will construct wind turbines blade units in Gujarat and Karnataka. This will enhance its position in clean energy supply chain in India.The shift is reflected in the move towards being not only a source of power but a significant domestic manufacturer of its own which contributes to a rapidly expanding wind energy market.BEML Limited has been awarded a large contract by the Ministry of Defense to supply engines at an approximate of 110 crores.The order was announced today and this will help BEML Limited gain a stronger foothold as one of the primary players in the Indian indigenous defense manufacturing drive and as a contributor to the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision of the government.The Karnataka facility will be bigger. It will contain three to four blade molds and produce around 400 to 500 blades every year. The Gujarat unit will be smaller with a production estimated of 300 blades annually. JSW Energy will also be able to supply its own demand as well as assist with wind projects in the country through these two plants.The runners of the blade units will be the JSW Neo Energy which is the renewable side of the company. This is after the expansion was based on a licensing deal with Sany Renewable Energy of China. That will enable JSW Neo Energy to produce wind turbine generators and major components in-country. The alliance is geared towards reducing reliance on imports and enhancing security of supply of big winds projects.Industry-wise, this choice is made at a time when India is in need of more domestic production of clean energy. The construction of wind component facilities typically requires a large investment of tens of millions of dollars, depending on size and level of automation.In the case of JSW Energy, the new units align with its general objective of increasing the capacity of renewables as it acquires the control of equipment supply. With the increasing number of wind installations, component in-house would reduce costs, accelerate projects and keep India economical in the renewable energy industry. The agreement entails supplying engines that are constructed with high standards required in defense in terms of performance, reliability, and durability. These engines will be produced in the high-tech production plants of BEML Limited in accordance to the quality assurance and testing standards set by the Ministry of Defense.The experience in the field of defence, mining, and infrastructure that the company has had over a long period of time has been instrumental in acquiring this order. The progress of the same is an indication of the fact that the Indian armed forces still have confidence in the technical prowess of BEML, its manufacturing and delivery performance. BEML has over the years been able to provide an extensive selection of crucial defense systems such as armoured vehicles, artillery systems, ground support systems, as well as high-mobility platforms.Its defense portfolio is also further diversified by the new engine supply order. Regarding the industry aspect, the contract is likely to give BEML momentum to its order book and skilled employment in its engineering and manufacturing work. It further illustrates the increased attention to the notion of domestic sourcing of the defense essentials, with the purpose of cutting the impact of the imports and increasing national security. BEML Limited has also been endeavoring in research and development, contemporary manufacturing infrastructure, and quality systems to cope with the changing defense demands.
