At no load condition the generated voltage at transformer secondary output is 140 V ac. When a 60W resistive load is connected the voltage drops to 27 V ac. The pmg generator rating is 1 KW 415 V and transformer rating is 415/230 Vac 1 Kva. Why does the voltage drops so much and what would be the reason behind this scenario?

If input torque is held constant then you are fashioning a constant current generator and not a constant voltage generator. Input mechanical speed would need to be held constant to produce a "near-enough" constant output voltage.
Mechanical power in = \$2\pi n T\$ where n is speed (rev/sec) and T is torque. You have kept T constant but allowed n to fall therefore the mechanical power into the generator has fallen just when you wanted power to increase!
