Senvion Bags First 3.1M130 Turbine Order With Powerica In Gujarat

Senvion, a wind turbine manufacturer and technology provider, has received an order from Powerica to supply 17 wind turbine generators (WTGs), totaling 52.7 MW, for a wind power project in Gujarat. The company said deliveries will begin in Q3 of FY25–26. The order includes supply, erection, commissioning, and a long-term operations and maintenance contract.

This order will mark the first deployment of Senvion’s 3.1M130 turbine since it was recently listed in the Revised List of Models & Manufacturers (RLMM) which is maintained by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. With a 130-meter rotor, advanced controls, and a platform rooted in the earlier 2XM architecture, the 3.1M130 is optimized for performance in pad-constrained scenarios.

Over 80% of the components are manufactured in India, making it a homegrown solution for India’s evolving wind market.

Amit Kansal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director (MD) of Senvion India commented, “The 3.1M130 isn’t just a new turbine—it’s our response to a challenge many developers face but few solutions address well: how to do more with less land. This machine is purpose-built for that constraint. And the speed with which we designed, tested, and certified it speaks to Senvion’s ability to turn market feedback into real-world outcomes—quickly, efficiently, and locally.”

Pradeep Gupta, Executive Director, Powerica Limited said, “As we expand our renewable energy portfolio, technology that adapts to site realities is key. The 3.1M130 gives us the performance we need in land-constrained zones. We see this partnership with Senvion as the beginning of a collaboration built on innovation, trust, and execution strength.”

Wind energy firms have had a strong 2024 in terms of orders, as capacity additions also hit 4.5 GW. 2025 is promising to shape up well with order flows continuing, and a string pipeline of FDRE, Hybrid and RTC projects promising to keep the demand up.
