    Tulsi Tanti, chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, said India's new wind power capacity will exceed 8,000 megawatts
    in the next financial year.

    Tulsi Tanti said in a recent interview that building capacity issues are now easing and that much of the construction backlog will be released
    in the 2019-20 fiscal year.

    Over the past few years, the wind industry has undergone a huge transformation, from the initial distribution of electricity at a set price to the current tender process
    .
    SECI has accumulated 8,440 MW of wind power capacity tendered after six tenders
    .
    Driven by the competitive model, the tax rate was even reduced to Rs 2.
    43 per 2.
    43 at one point
    .

    At present, SECI has announced the seventh round of external tenders, with a capacity of up to 1200 MW
    .
    As costs have come down, state governments have also stopped buying electricity at fixed prices and started their own tender schemes
    .

    However, despite the full swing of tenders, the construction of the project did not go as expected
    .
    By the end of January, only 823 MW
    had been completed.
    While the 11,000 MW goal may seem far away, most projects are still within
    their deadlines.

    But problems are also clear, such as weak transmission and distribution infrastructure
    .
    Secondly, as bidding companies can choose the project site, Gujarat (5,485 MW) is preferred by most, followed by Tamil Nadu (2,000 MW)
    by the second most windy state.

    The agglomeration of projects led Gujarat to sit down and think, "If its best land will be occupied by SECI projects, then what is its own project?" As a result, it proposed a new policy on land allocation, requiring companies to switch to "wind farms," a move that caused an outcry
    from the industry.

    But things are improving
    .
    Weak infrastructure is being improved
    as Central PSU Power Grid Corporation of India is moving forward with the construction of substations and transmission lines.
    As for land, wind companies are buying private land or looking for projects
    elsewhere.
    As a result, it is expected that many projects will start construction
    in 2019-20.

    Tanti said the industry "has had a 24-month cold winter, but is coming out of it.
