Muppandal Wind Farm, in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, India, is home to more than 3,000 wind turbines, making it the largest in India.

Power generated from the farm feeds India's central grid, and the industry offers livelihoods to educated youths and has lifted living standards for the communities. However, rising land prices leave past land sellers in regret. As the town grapples with economic transformation, the delicate balance between progress and environmental preservation becomes apparent.
