What is an anchor cage and why does it matter?
Did you know? Every wind turbine stands on a foundation of steel and concrete—but it’s the anchor cage that holds it all together.
This seemingly hidden component transfers all loads from the tower to the ground—withstanding decades of tension, compression, and environmental stress.
And yet… in many projects, anchor cages are still imported, even though India has the capacity to manufacture them locally. Isn’t it time we talked about it?
In this series, we’ll be exploring:
- Why anchor cages matter for wind energy
- Their role in quality, safety, and project economics
- And why they should be included in India’s DCR and RLMM policy
