Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been authorized as the Nodal Ministry for use of offshore

Wind Energy (NIWE) has been authorized as the Nodal Agency for development of offshore
wind energy in the country and to carry out allocation of offshore wind energy blocks,
coordination and allied functions with related ministries and agencies.
The decision paves the way for offshore wind energy development, including projects and

constitutes the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the country.
Of Indias 36,642 MW of installed renewable power capacity, around 23,864 MW is onshore
