• Abstract:

  - India’s Transition Toward Sustainable Energy Systems Necessitates The Effective Utilization Of Its Abundant Renewable Resources. Among These, Wind Energy Presents A Significant Yet Underutilized Opportunity, With An Estimated Potential Of Approximately 695 GW At Higher Hub Heights, Compared To An Installed Capacity Of Just Over 50 GW As Of 2025. This Study Investigates The Disparity Between Resource Availability And Actual Deployment Through An Integrated Technical And Economic Perspective. The Analysis Combines Recent Literature, National Datasets, And Graphical Evaluations To Examine Capacity Trends, Regional Distribution, And Cost Dynamics. The Findings Indicate That The Primary Barriers To Wind Energy Deployment Are Not Resource-related But Stem From Systemic Challenges, Including Grid Limitations, Financial Constraints, And Policy Inconsistencies. Furthermore, The Study Highlights The Economic Dominance Of Onshore Wind And The Emerging Potential Of Offshore Systems Despite Their Higher Costs. The Paper Concludes That Addressing These Interconnected Challenges Through Coordinated Infrastruc-ture Development, Policy Stability, And Technological Advancement Is Essential For Unlocking India’s Wind Energy Potential.
