ABB announced the dispatch of its first locally manufactured wind power converter from its Nelamangala facility near Bengaluru on 19 January 2026, following its acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business in December 2025. The equipment was delivered to a wind turbine original equipment manufacturer, marking ABB’s entry into local manufacturing of wind power converters in India under the expanded portfolio.
According to a press release issued by ABB, the converter was manufactured and shipped from the company’s Nelamangala facility and represents the first such dispatch in India after the acquisition. The company said the milestone reflects its strategy to integrate Gamesa Electric’s wind energy conversion technologies into its renewable power portfolio, which also includes utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems.
The company stated that the dispatch supports its focus on strengthening local manufacturing capabilities for renewable energy technologies in India. ABB said locally produced wind power converters are intended to support grid integration requirements and enable the scaling up of renewable energy capacity, in line with domestic manufacturing priorities.
“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,” said Anoop Anand, President – Motion High Power Division, ABB India Ltd. He added, “This also reinforces India’s position as a global hub for renewable energy manufacturing and deployment.”
ABB noted that India is consolidating its position as a manufacturing base for wind energy equipment, with expectations that the country could meet around 10 percent of global wind demand and scale installed wind capacity to 107 gigawatts by 2030. The company said this trend increases the relevance of local production of wind power electronics for both domestic use and international markets.
Globally, ABB said it has delivered more than 60,000 wind converters and generators over the past 15 years. The acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business is expected to expand ABB’s serviceable installed base of wind converters by approximately 46 gigawatts, strengthening its capabilities across wind, solar and battery energy storage applications.
ABB said its renewable energy portfolio in India includes utility-scale solar inverters, power conversion systems for battery energy storage systems, and wind power converters, all manufactured locally. The company stated that this portfolio positions it to support requirements related to grid reliability, regulatory compliance and localisation as India works towards its renewable energy capacity targets.
ABB is a technology company operating in electrification and automation, with a history of more than 140 years and around 110,000 employees worldwide. The company’s shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.
