Flender's Winergy division is establishing the Chennai-based manufacturing operation to address rising demand in India's wind energy sector. The investment reflects the company's commitment to deepening its presence in one of Asia's most dynamic renewable energy markets.
The new facility will focus on generator manufacturing, enabling Flender to increase production volumes while reducing dependence on imports. By localising manufacturing operations, the company aims to enhance its ability to serve Indian wind turbine manufacturers and project developers with faster delivery times and improved supply chain efficiency.
The Chennai plant represents part of a broader strategy to strengthen Flender's position in India's energy transition. As the country accelerates its renewable energy targets, demand for high-quality wind energy components continues to surge, creating opportunities for local manufacturing hubs.
The initiative aligns with India's broader push towards domestic manufacturing in the renewable energy sector. By establishing production capabilities within the country, Flender is positioning itself to better compete in a market where local sourcing and rapid delivery have become increasingly important for wind energy developers.
