The United Kingdom partnered with India to establish the Offshore Wind Taskforce under Vision 2035 during the Fourth India-UK Energy Dialogue. The initiative aims to accelerate offshore wind development in India by combining UK expertise in scaling offshore wind farms and supply chains with India’s expanding renewable energy market. The task force focuses on ecosystem planning, infrastructure development, financing models, and risk mitigation strategies. It also supports offshore wind projects in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu with Viability Gap Funding assistance, while aligning with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission to enhance clean energy capacity and long-term energy security.
