Maharashtra is the state where GAIL (India) Limited has approved a ₹1,736 crore investment for a greenfield wind power project. This initiative represents the company’s largest single renewable energy investment so far and reflects its strategic transition toward becoming an integrated energy player. The proposed wind farm is expected to have a capacity of around 300–350 MW, with construction likely to begin in 2026–27 and commercial operations targeted for 2028–29. The project supports GAIL’s goal of achieving nearly 2 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and contributes to India’s broader non-fossil fuel energy ambitions.
