ABB ships its first locally manufactured wind power converter in India following the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business, strengthening its renewable portfolio and local manufacturing footprint.

ABB has dispatched its first wind power converter manufactured in India, marking a milestone following the company’s December 2025 acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business. The unit was produced at ABB’s Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru and delivered to a wind turbine OEM.

The delivery represents the integration of Gamesa Electric’s wind power conversion technologies into ABB’s broader renewable energy portfolio. It also signals ABB’s growing focus on local manufacturing in one of the world’s fastest-expanding renewable markets.

Strengthening India’s Renewable Manufacturing Base

India is currently one of the world’s largest wind manufacturing hubs and is expected to meet approximately 10% of global wind demand while scaling installed wind capacity toward 107 GW by 2030. Local production of advanced power conversion technologies is increasingly critical for grid integration, regulatory compliance, and supply chain resilience.

By manufacturing wind converters domestically, ABB aligns with India’s push for local value creation while reinforcing its global renewable supply strategy.

Expanding Renewable Capabilities

ABB has delivered more than 60,000 wind converters and generators worldwide over the past 15 years. Through the acquisition, the company expands its serviceable installed base by approximately 46 GW and strengthens its position across wind, solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The company’s renewable portfolio in India now includes:

Wind power converters

Utility-scale solar inverters

Power conversion systems for battery energy storage

This integrated offering supports India’s broader target of reaching 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Strategic Context

As renewable penetration increases, grid stability and power electronics performance become decisive factors. Advanced wind converters play a critical role in ensuring efficient grid integration, voltage regulation, and system reliability.

With local production and expanded technology capabilities, ABB positions itself to support the next phase of renewable growth not only in India, but across emerging markets where manufacturing localization and system integration expertise are becoming strategic priorities.
