Wind Turbine Supply Chain Management Portal (WT-MARUT):
Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy officially launched India’s first dedicated wind turbine supply chain management portal, WT-MARUT, at the Global Wind Day Conference in Goa.
- WT-MARUT is India’s first indigenous, centralized digital platform explicitly dedicated to managing, tracking, and optimizing the domestic wind turbine manufacturing supply chain ecosystem.
- Ministry: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)
- The aim of WT-MARUT is to strengthen India’s domestic wind manufacturing capabilities and drive inclusion across the supply chain.
Key Features of the Portal:
- Provides end-to-end operational visibility across the entire tier-structured wind energy component network, from raw processing to final assembly.
- Facilitates smooth compliance with domestic sourcing rules under the government’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework, ensuring clear tracking of local content requirements.
- Functions as a business-to-business platform that helps project developers find, verify, and qualify component suppliers, reducing procurement times.
- Serves as a unified communication and data-sharing platform linking turbine manufacturers, independent power producers, component designers, and policy regulators.
- Incorporates tracking mechanisms to help domestic manufacturers align their component specifications with international quality standards, enhancing global trade operations.
