54.7 gw – India to install wind capacity by 2022

60 gw – wind capacity target set by the govt

175 gw – total renewable energy capacity target by 2022

100 gw – solar capacity target

4.5 gw – average wind capacity between 2019 and 2022

20 gw – govt seeks to tender wind capacity by March 2020

The combination of several challenges in the country's wind power sector will hit near-term growth momentum, including land availability hurdles, grid access bottlenecks and concerns over the viability of low tender bids,"
