Vayona Energy starts blade production at Nellore wind manufacturing facility
Vayona Energy has commenced blade manufacturing operations at its Nellore facility in Andhra Pradesh, marking a significant step in scaling up its wind business in India.
The announcement closely follows the company’s first deal in the Indian market, a 64.8 MW wind turbine project order from Oyster Renewable Energy Private Limited in the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. That deal was an important collaboration following Vayona Energy’s entry into India after its acquisition of the business from Siemens Gamesa. Vayona Energy also secured a 702 MW wind turbine supply agreement with Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) to supply 195 SG 3.6-145 wind turbines for projects across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.Â
The Nellore blade plant, together with Vayona’s Mamandur nacelle facility, forms a decisive step in building a fully integrated, world-class manufacturing base in India for current as well as next-generation products. The upgraded facility will produce blades for Vayona’s 3X platform and future-generation products.
Investments will be phased through 2027, covering molds and supporting infrastructure required for blade manufacturing. The plant is expected to create around 1,500 jobs, supporting local economic growth and reinforcing the regional manufacturing ecosystem.
Leadership commentary
On the latest development, Prashant Jain, Executive Vice Chairman, Vayona Energy, said: “The expansion of the Nellore facility strengthens our manufacturing footprint and demonstrates our long-term commitment to building world-class, locally integrated capabilities in India.”
Pritesh Vinay, Chief Executive Officer, Vayona Energy, added: “The Nellore blade plant, together with our Mamandur nacelle facility, is a decisive step in building a fully integrated, world-class manufacturing base in India for current as well as next-generation products. This positions us to build a resilient, future-ready supply chain in India, meet growing customer demand with advanced technology products, while delivering speed, quality, and scale, and supporting our ambitions to serve export markets.”
Strategic impact
Vayona Energy’s robust manufacturing footprint in India will enable the company to accelerate delivery timelines, strengthen supply chain resilience, and support India’s transition towards sustainable energy solutions. The Nellore facility is poised to become a key manufacturing hub, supporting the company’s growth ambitions, advancing its technology roadmap, and reinforcing its commitment to the ‘Make in India’ mission.
