KK Wind Solutions, the 1 billion euro wind energy giant owned by A.P. Moller Holding, has officially inaugurated Asia’s largest wind power generation facility, its website said. Located in Dobbspet, Bengaluru, India, the new wind power plant is a strategic step in KK Wind’s global supply chain expansion that supports its commitment to renewable energy and sustainable growth in South India.
The newly opened facility focus on manufacturing wind turbine control systems and power converters with up to 400 jobs created at the factory and 150 positions in the new shared services office, the site will be one of the biggest clean energy investments in India under the MOOWR scheme.
Briefly about MOOWR (Manufacturing and Other Activities Under Warehouse Regulation), under this scheme, duty on imported goods is suspended in advance and is payable only when the goods are released from the MOOWR unit. Among the benefits is that when the finished goods are released in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA), duty is payable only on the imported goods, thereby saving costs. With no export obligation, overall, MOOWR provides a simple, cost-effective alternative to traditional duty exemption schemes.

Benefiting from an established industrial ecosystem and robust infrastructure, the facility is strategically located in Dobbspet where it will manufacture key components for wind turbines that will support the growing demand for clean energy technologies in Asia and beyond.
How Bengaluru Emerges India’s Wind Power Factory Hub
The opening of the giant company wind farm in Dobbaspet is a significant moment in deepening cooperation under the Green Strategic Partnership between India and Denmark, it can be said its a strategic alliance that will foster joint innovation, sustainable development and the development of green technologies in both countries.
It needs to double its current installed capacity for wind power within five years to meet its ambitious 2030 renewable energy target of 99 GW, and Dobbaspet is playing a key role in enabling the country to meet this bold energy goal.
Mauricio Quintana, CEO of KK Citied:
“As a global company founded in Denmark, we are proud to contribute to this partnership by creating jobs, transferring knowledge and accelerating the adoption of clean energy,” “Together with our partners in India, we are engineering solutions for a renewable future.”

As wind power generation accelerates in India, Bengaluru is expected to emerge as a center of excellence, their expertise, innovation and global collaboration – driving the renewable energy transformation.
What KK Wind Solutions‘ Means for Wind Power
India has the capacity to produce 18,000 megawatts worth of turbines annually, not only meeting domestic demand, exporting turbines and blades globally is a major concern of production. This export capacity is underpinning India’s growing reputation as a reliable, cost-effective wind technology hub. But as India’s wind power industry grows stronger, one Achilles heel could slow it down: blade production. But to address these issues, a wind power hub is being built,
KK Wind Solutions is building a strong position in the wind power sector with its strategic and ambitious expansion in India. The company has opened an office in India for the first time and has hired 150 highly skilled employees dedicated to global shared services, supporting a wide range of activities from engineering and production to customer service to meet the rapidly growing demand for wind power solutions in Asia and beyond. Their track record proves that they are successful in their mission. 2024 was a record-breaking year for the company.
The company increased its top-line revenue by 40% to 7.7 billion Danish kroner (over 1 billion euros), a growth that placed them among the top 100 largest companies in Denmark, a significant achievement in the global clean energy sector. And this year they are increasing their ability to provide high-quality service and monitoring solutions in key markets such as the United States. 50% of all wind turbines rotating in the United States are made of the company’s components.
Given this momentum, their entry into India is a very promising development.
