ABB Ships First Wind Converter From Bengaluru Facility After Gamesta Electric Acquisition

Following the acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in Spain in December 2025, ABB has now dispatched its first wind power converter in India. In a press release, the company said it plans to manufacture and ship wind power converters from its Nelamangala facility in Bengaluru, India.

The dispatch helps integrate Gamesa Electric’s power electronics and wind energy conversion technologies into ABB’s portfolio. This will also support ABB in solidifying its footprint in India’s renewable energy sector, with a strengthened focus on wind power, supported by a broader portfolio spanning utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The acquired portfolio includes power conversion products such as wind converters for doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG), industrial battery energy storage systems (BESS), and utility-scale solar inverters. The acquisition increases ABB’s serviceable installed base total capacity of wind converters by approximately 46 GW and supports the profitable growth strategy of its Motion business area.

The transaction brings around 400 employees, including key resources in India, China, the United States, and Australia, as well as two converter factories in Madrid and Valencia. ABB has also entered into a supply and services agreement with Siemens Gamesa. With over 45 years of experience in power electronics, Gamesa Electric brings technical expertise in solar and renewable applications, along with strong customer relationships.

On the latest announcement, Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd., said, “Wind energy plays a critical role in the energy transition. By delivering advanced power conversion technologies that are locally manufactured in India and engineered for effective grid integration, we are strengthening the integration of wind power into the grid and supporting the scale-up of renewable energy worldwide.”

About the Company

ABB has played a key role in advancing renewable energy globally for over 15 years, delivering more than 60,000 wind converters and generators worldwide. The acquisition significantly strengthens ABB’s renewable power conversion capabilities, enabling the company to offer comprehensive, utility-scale solutions across wind, solar, and battery energy storage, while expanding its serviceable installed base of wind converters by approximately 46 gigawatts. This global ABB figure is equivalent to nearly one-fifth of India’s current installed renewable energy capacity.

ABB India’s renewable portfolio spans utility-scale solar inverters, power conversion systems (PCS) for battery energy storage systems (BESS), and wind power converters, all manufactured locally. As the world’s third-largest wind manufacturing base, India is expected to meet around 10 percent of global wind demand and scale installed wind capacity to 107 GW by 2030, underscoring its growing importance in the global renewable energy ecosystem.
