The Indian Ministry of New & Renewables Energy (MRNE) made the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy document public. The ministry was recently appointed as the Nodal Agency for India's offshore wind development.

The policy document is the primary policy decision-making document for offshore wind energy development, including, setting up of offshore wind power projects and research & development activities, in waters, in or adjacent to the country up to the seaward distance of 200 nautical miles (Exclusive Economic Zone of the country) from the base line.

With the MNRE acting as Nodal Ministry for development of offshore wind power in the EEZ of the country. National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) will act as the Nodal Agency for exploration and exploitation of offshore wind power in the EEZ of the country and carry activities such as proposal reviews, overseeing developers and collecting lease fees.

Preliminary assessments along the 7600 km long Indian coastline have indicated prospects of development of offshore wind power. With the introduction of the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy, the Government is attempting to mimic the same success of the onshore wind power development. The development of offshore wind would help the country in moving forward towards attaining energy security and achievement of the National Action Plan on Climate Change targets.
