MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010322 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'an apparatus for harnessing wind energy using rotor blades, end plates, shaft cap, and support stand.'

Inventor(s) include Sushant Reddy; Shubham Gupta; Surya Ramesh; Suryatejanarra; Suyash Joshi; and Dr. Shruti Maheshwari.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for harnessing wind energy using a vertically oriented rotor assembly supported by a stand. The apparatus includes a shaft cap (102), a plurality of rotor blades (104) arranged around a central axis, an upper end plate (106) coupled to the upper ends of the rotor blades, and a lower end plate (108) coupled to their lower ends to maintain alignment and structural stability. A support stand (110) extends downward from the lower end plate to elevate and stabilize the apparatus. When exposed to wind, the rotor blades rotate about the central axis to generate usable mechanical motion. The arrangement of the rotor blades, end plates, and support stand provides a compact, reliable structure suitable for small-scale wind-energy applications and environments where low-complexity, easily maintainable configurations are preferred."
