Vayona Energy has unveiled a new 5 megawatt onshore wind turbine platform in Chennai, expanding its product range as India seeks higher-yield renewable-energy projects suited to varied wind and climate conditions.
The company dedicated the Vayona 5.0/193 to the nation at Windergy India 2026 on Friday. Developed with Germany-based Aerovide GmbH, the platform features a 193-metre rotor and is designed to operate across India’s low and ultra-low wind conditions as well as high-temperature environments.
Vayona said the turbine combines German design and engineering expertise with its own manufacturing capabilities, project execution experience and lifecycle service network in India. The platform is being developed for local production, including a domestic supply chain for major components.
The launch marks Vayona’s entry into the 5 MW turbine segment and adds to its existing 3X platform. The company said the larger rotor is intended to increase the area available for energy capture, while the turbine’s configuration will be adapted to Indian site, climate and operating conditions.
Prashant Jain, executive vice-chairman of Vayona Energy, said India’s next phase of wind growth would require technology capable of opening up more sites, improving project economics and operating reliably under demanding conditions. He described the platform as a step towards building advanced wind-technology and manufacturing capacity in India.
Pritesh Vinay, chief executive officer of Vayona Energy, said the platform was being developed around the turbine’s performance and reliability over its operating life. He said its high-temperature design, site-specific configuration and maintenance-friendly architecture were intended to support higher energy capture, dependable operations and competitive lifecycle economics.
The turbine platform is also being developed with digital twin-enabled systems. These will be integrated with Vayona’s in-house Remote Operations Centre, allowing the company to monitor performance continuously, identify emerging issues earlier and undertake more predictive maintenance, according to the company.
Vayona said the digital architecture is intended to improve turbine availability and support faster field interventions. The company has not disclosed a commercial commissioning date, production volume, turbine pricing or a project order book for the Vayona 5.0/193 in the supplied announcement.
The platform is intended for standalone wind farms, wind-solar hybrid projects, firm and dispatchable renewable-energy solutions, and projects supplying electricity to commercial and industrial customers. Its proposed applications reflect the growing use of wind generation alongside other renewable sources to address varying power demand and supply conditions.
The unveiling follows several milestones for Vayona during its first year, including the restart of manufacturing operations, new orders and production of its first blade. The company said the addition of the Vayona 5.0/193 to its 3X platform would broaden its ability to serve different wind-energy project requirements. Further details on commercial deployment and manufacturing timelines were not provided in the announcement.
