Why Wind Energy Works in Rajkot
Rajkot, the commercial heart of Saurashtra, sits on open plains with steady winds and high industrial and residential power demand. With annual averages around 4-6 m/s, Rajkot is a very good fit for Windora's vertical axis wind turbines, which start generating at just 3.5 m/s.
- Very good wind resource — Saurashtra is among India's stronger wind zones
- PGVCL grid tariffs climb steeply at higher consumption slabs
- High summer cooling loads across Gujarat — fast payback on self-generation
- Gujarat renewable-energy incentives + accelerated depreciation for businesses
- Strong fit for farms, farmhouses, homes, and industry around Rajkot
Why it pays off: A 5 kW hybrid solar+wind system in Rajkot can generate roughly 10,000–16,000 kWh a year given the local 4-6 m/s wind resource — typically cutting a high PGVCL bill by 70–90% with a 4–6 year payback.

FAQ — Wind Turbine Rajkot
Is Rajkot windy enough for a small wind turbine?
Rajkot, the commercial heart of Saurashtra, sits on open plains with steady winds and high industrial and residential power demand. Our vertical axis turbines start generating at just 3.5 m/s, so they perform reliably across Rajkot and Rajkot district.
Which DISCOM handles net-metering in Rajkot?
PGVCL manages the local grid connection in Rajkot. We handle the entire net-metering application and paperwork as part of our turnkey installation.
Should I choose wind, solar, or hybrid in Rajkot?
For most Gujarat sites we recommend a hybrid solar+wind system — solar covers sunny afternoons while wind covers evenings, nights, and the monsoon, giving the most consistent year-round output.
Can you install off-grid for a remote Rajkot farm?
Yes. Given the strong 4-6 m/s wind resource around Rajkot, off-grid and battery-backed hybrid systems work very well for remote farms and farmhouses with weak or no grid supply.
