ABB Delivers First Wind Power Converter Manufactured in India

ABB today confirmed the shipment of its first wind power converter manufactured in India, marking a key step after its acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025.

The converter was produced at ABB’s advanced Nelamangala facility near Bengaluru and delivered to a leading wind turbine OEM, underlining ABB’s growing focus on local manufacturing for global markets.

The shipment signals the smooth integration of Gamesa Electric’s proven wind power technologies into ABB’s renewable portfolio. It also aligns with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India programs, as ABB expands domestic capabilities while scaling solutions across wind, utility-scale solar, and battery energy storage systems. The wind power converter now joins ABB India’s locally manufactured clean energy offerings.

“Wind power is a cornerstone of the global energy transition,” said Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd. “By manufacturing advanced power conversion solutions in India that support reliable grid integration, we are helping accelerate the deployment of wind energy while reinforcing India’s role as a key manufacturing hub for renewables worldwide.”

India is fast becoming a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing, with wind at its core. The country is among the world’s top wind manufacturing bases and is expected to supply about 10 percent of global wind demand. Installed wind capacity is projected to reach 107 GW by 2030.

Over the past 15 years, ABB has delivered more than 60,000 wind converters and generators worldwide. With the Gamesa Electric integration, ABB’s serviceable installed base of wind converters has expanded by about 46 GW. Backed by strong power electronics and grid expertise, ABB is well positioned to support India’s push toward 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
