Located in the city of Vadodara, in south-western Gujarat state, the new blade plant is expected to reach production capacity of 390 blades in 2013.
Gamesa has already produced its first blade for the G5X-850 kW turbine.
The blade factory will primarily supply India’s northern states, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Gamesa India chairman and managing director Ramesh Kymal said the project marks another step towards covering manufacturing base in India.
"We are also implementing our best technology and practices in wind turbine production" added Kymal.
Recently, Gamesa has built a tower factory in India, through the Windar Renewable Energy joint venture, in which Gamesa owns a 32% stake.
The newly operating plant is part of a EUR60m investment Gamesa announced in March 2011 to strengthen the company’s manufacturing base in India.
