Gamesa has opened its new blades factory in India to produce blades for turbine systems G5X-850 kW and G9X-2.0 MW.
The new blade plant – located in the city of Vadodara, in south-western Gujarat state – is currently staffed by 157 employees and is forecast to reach production capacity of 390 blades in 2013. Gamesa invested € 25 million to commission the facility. The blade factory will primarily supply India's northern states, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The newly operating plant is part of a € 60-million investment Gamesa announced in March 2011 to strengthen the company’s manufacturing base in India. Gamesa will round off this investment plan in India by building a new factory in Tamil Nadu state to produce nacelles.
