Summary: NITI Aayog recommends that 60% of the materials used in wind energy be sourced locally to boost cybersecurity and reduce reliance on imports, particularly from China. They point out risks like offshore data storage and unauthorized updates, emphasizing strict checks on foreign software and hardware before allowing them to connect to the power grid. 

The proposal also suggests giving priority to Indian-made parts for essential wind components listed in the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers (RLMM). It requires companies in the wind sector to set up data centers and research facilities in India. Failure to comply could result in losing out on government contracts.

Additionally, NITI Aayog suggested using AI or machine learning to better detect cyber threats in India's wind energy sector. This is aimed at making India more self-sufficient in renewable energy, considering strong competition from China in wind turbine assembly.
