Adani to Build India’s Longest Wind Blade, Stretching a Football Field

Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL), the renewable manufacturing arm of the Adani Group, has officially announced that it will produce India’s longest onshore wind turbine blades measuring 91.2 metres at its Mundra facility in Gujarat.

For an uninitiated, longer blades sweep a larger area, capturing more wind energy per rotation. They enable turbines to generate more electricity even when wind speeds are modest. These blades are designed for advanced turbine models that can deliver higher capacity and reliability.

ANIL is not just chasing records — it’s strategically enabling turbines to produce more power at sites where wind conditions aren’t always optimal, making renewable energy more viable across India.

Key Highlights

• Blade Size: 91.2 metres — nearly the length of a football field.
• Facility: Mundra, Gujarat, which already manufactures 78.6m and 80.5m blades.
• Purpose: Designed for next-generation turbines to maximize energy output, especially in low- and medium-wind regions.
• Significance: Represents a major leap in design complexity, materials engineering, and manufacturing capability.
• Ecosystem: Mundra is evolving into a multi-technology renewable hub, housing wind turbine, solar module, and component manufacturing in one integrated ecosystem.

This announcement positions Adani as a key player in India’s renewable energy self-reliance push, with the new blades expected to enhance efficiency and reduce costs in wind power generation.

Currently, the largest wind turbine blades in the world measure 153 metres (502 feet). These ultra‑long blades were developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation in China for its 26 MW offshore wind turbine, which is considered the most powerful turbine globally. 

For comparison, Adani’s upcoming 91.2m blades are record‑breaking for India’s onshore segment, but globally, offshore blades are significantly larger due to fewer transport constraints and higher wind capture potential.
