A Danish wind
firm has opened a new factory and offices in India's southern province.
KK Wind Solutions,
based in Ikast, Denmark, inaugurated the massive development in Bengaluru,
India, today where up to 400 people will be employed in the production
of converters and control systems for the wind industry.
The new factory
is now the company’s largest manufacturing facility in Asia and boasts
17,000 square metres of floor space, 3,000 of which is dedicated to offices.
Mauricio Quintana,
CEO of KK Wind, said at the inauguration: "India is an increasingly
important hub in the global wind energy value chain and Bengaluru was the
clear, obvious choice for our expansion in Asia.
"The city
has renowned universities and technical institutes, and a large talent
pool of engineering professionals.
"With these
new facilities, our supply chain is now even more global, enabling us to
deliver high-quality power control and converter solutions to our customers
around the world."
Eske Bo Knudsen
Rosenberg, the consul general of Denmark in Bengaluru, also joined members
of the KK global leadership team at the event.
"The expansion
of KK Wind Solutions underlines the close green strategic partnership between
India and Denmark," he said.
"India is
committed to the necessary green transition and has set ambitious renewable
energy targets.
"From the
Danish side, we are committed to working together with our Indian partners
and the wind industry to help achieve these targets."
The inauguration
comes at a time of expanding cooperation between Denmark and India under
the Green Strategic Partnership, which promotes joint innovation, sustainable
development and trade in green technologies.
In India alone,
meeting the country's 2030 renewable energy target of 99 GW would mean
a doubling of installed wind power capacity in just five years.
