Sumilon Shikarpur Wind Farm is a 3.6 MW wind facility in India, operated by Sumilon Industries Limited. This plant contributes to India's total wind capacity of 6,211 MW from 111 plants and was commissioned in 2015. It represents 0.06% of the national wind output. Ranked #99 of 111 wind plants in India, Sumilon Shikarpur's 3.6 MW is a small share of the total capacity. The largest wind farm in India is the Muppandal Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 1,500 MW, making this facility 416.7 times smaller. Nearby plants include Jangi Wind Farm (91.8 MW, Wind), Rucha Soya Wind Farm (35.1 MW, Wind), and Surajbari Creek Wind Farm (30 MW, Wind). The facility is located in Gujarat, approximately 70 km from the city of Rajkot.

Wind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
