Abstract: In India, the wind power generation has gained a high level of attention and acceptability. Individual states of India have varying policy measures to encourage growth of the wind power sectors which had influenced the rates of diffusion in wind energy in different states. The theory of diffusion of innovation is used to study the growth of wind power technology in different states of India. The future growth pattern to achieve the technical wind potential is predicted and analyzed using Logistic model. The state level data of cumulative wind power installed capacity is used to obtain the diffusion parameters
