Senvion India has announced that its new 4.2M160 wind turbine model has been included in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) – Wind, issued on 30 December 2025.
The ALMM (Wind) framework, formerly known as the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM), is designed to streamline model qualification and enhance quality assurance across India’s rapidly expanding wind energy sector. Recent updates to the framework also aim to strengthen localisation and promote domestic manufacturing.
The Senvion 4.2M160 turbine, featuring a 4.2 MW rated capacity and 160-metre rotor diameter, is now listed for hub heights up to 140 metres, fully complying with MNRE’s model listing requirements.
Senvion India has already secured firm orders exceeding 600 MW for the 4.2M160 model and signed a long-term framework agreement for 2 GW over three years, reflecting strong market confidence in the platform.
Key Features of the 4.2M160 Turbine
-High localisation (>85%) with pan-India manufacturing of blades, towers, nacelles, and hubs.
-ReT 78.5m blades with industry-leading lightning protection.
-High derating thresholds up to 45 degrees, supported by a hybrid active–passive cooling system.
-Single-blade installation capability for efficient deployment in diverse terrains.
-FleetPro® SCADA system offering real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and compliance with grid and cybersecurity standards.
-AI-integrated adaptive controls to optimise energy capture in low-wind conditions.
Amit Kansal, CEO & MD of Senvion India, said, “The ALMM listing of our 4.2M160 turbine is a significant milestone in supporting India’s clean energy manufacturing goals. Designed and industrialised in India, this turbine strengthens the domestic value chain, expands local production capacity, and reinforces the nation’s long-term energy security. By scaling localisation, we are providing our customers with a future-ready, fully India-built platform delivering reliable performance for years to come.”
The inclusion of the 4.2M160 in the MNRE’s ALMM marks a major step forward in India’s push for high-quality, locally manufactured wind energy solutions, reinforcing both sustainability and energy security objectives.
