Is India prepared for offshore wind farm development

The offshore wind industry has significant potential as a long-term solution. However, with the current costs being high, we need to study the factors that will make it viable and plausibly cheaper in the years to come. Based on a preliminary examination of existing port infrastructure in India, it is evident that enormous reinforcement efforts will be required in order to service our future offshore wind energy projects along with establishing regulatory and institutional frameworks that will guide the local stakeholders.
