Envision Energy India Pvt Ltd plans to introduce its newly launched EN 182/5MW onshore wind platform to India by the first quarter of 2026. This follows the company’s previous success with the EN 131/2.5MW and EN 156/3.3MW turbines, which have been deployed across six Indian states since 2017.

The company is investing Rs 5 billion in India and has created over 2,500 direct and indirect jobs, with a manufacturing capacity of 3GW from its facilities in Pune and Trichy.
