Abstract

Energy use is the basic criterion for the development of a country. India is a vast country and its electricity demand is high. But the per capita consumption is low which reflects its demand shortage and pushes it to a world rank of 156 in electricity utilization. This demand, however, could be met if the available renewable resources had been utilized properly. Sometimes it is thought that India’s government policy for wind power is not up to par and India lags behind. If this is the trend, then other countries will surpass India in wind power growth and it will never become a wind superpower. Thus, the aim of this paper is to review India’s wind power growth in comparison to other countries of the world.
