India now ranks as a ‘wind superpower of the world.’ Is it true?

Answer:

  • India is one of the world’s wind superpowers at present.
  • The largest wind farm cluster is located in Tamil Nadu from Nagercoil to Madurai.
  • Apart from these, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Kerala, Maharashtra and Lakshadweep have important wind farms.
  • Nagercoil and Jaisalmer are well known for effective use of wind energy in the country.
  • Since India has a long coastline, the coasts can easily be used for setting up effective windmills.
