Suzlon’s wind energy initiative, comprising 127 S144 turbines, will be deployed across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.
Suzlon Group, India’s leading wind solutions provider, has secured a 381 MW order from Zelestra India and its affiliates, marking a strategic milestone in the vertically integrated clean energy company’s journey with its first firm and despatchable renewable energy (FDRE) project.
Suzlon sees this as part of a broader industry shift, where companies in their renewable energy transitions are turning to it as a trusted wind energy partner to meet decarbonisation goals with scale, reliability, and speed.
Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, “India’s energy transition landscape is at a pivotal juncture, where the pursuit of reliable, round-the-clock renewable power is taking center stage. This project marks that critical shift.”
JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, stated, “What differentiates Suzlon is our ability to provide fully integrated solutions—from in-house technology and manufacturing to execution and lifecycle services.”
Suzlon’s 381 MW wind project, comprising 127 S144 turbines, will span Maharashtra (180 MW), Madhya Pradesh (180 MW), and Tamil Nadu (21 MW). The Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh segments fall under firm and despatchable renewable energy bids led by Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN), a central public sector enterprise under India’s Ministry of Power. The Tamil Nadu portion will serve commercial and industrial (C&I) power consumers directly.
Sajay KV, CEO, Zelestra India, said, “This partnership with Suzlon marks a significant step in our vision to deliver even more ambitious and complex multi-technology renewable energy solutions for our customers across India. It sets the foundation for delivering our portfolio of 5 GW, from our strategically sited and uniquely co-located hybrid projects with interconnection certainty of 2027 and 2028.”
