Experts: India can beat China as components manufacturer, supply chain for wind sector
India holds an advantageous and strategically important position towards becoming a leading manufacturer of key components required for wind energy-based power generation, experts in the field have said.
This is significant in the backdrop of the Covid-19-led disruption to supply chain carrying crucial components and raw materials exported by China — the leading global supplier. The problem persisted through pandemic.
As a result, several international companies have either shifted their base to India in the past two years or are in the process. Most want to avoid similar hiccups in future. Some industry experts claimed that the geo-political scenario in South East Asia post the Covid-19 pandemic is playing in India’s favour.
