After reporting robust Q1 results for FY25, Suzlon Group, India’s leading renewable energy solutions provider, announced securing India’s largest wind energy order from NTPC Green Energy Limited (the renewables arm of NTPC Limited, India’s largest energy conglomerate) for 1,166 MW. Suzlon will install 370 wind turbine generators (WTGs) of the S144 model, featuring a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each.
These turbines will be deployed across two projects managed by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of NGEL) and one project by IndianOil NTPC Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (a group company of NGEL) in Gujarat. This new order brings Suzlon’s largest-ever cumulative order book close to 5 GW as of September 3, 2024.
Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, commented, “We are thrilled to collaborate with NTPC Green Energy Limited, the renewables arm of India’s largest utility NTPC Limited, as the country’s leading Wind Energy OEM. This milestone partnership reinforces our dedication to accelerating India’s transition to renewable energy. Notably, this is our first direct wind energy order from NGEL, marking Suzlon’s successful return to the PSU customer segment.”
He added, “This project will be the largest wind energy initiative by a PSU in Gujarat, further establishing the state’s leadership in renewable energy. Upon completion, it will set a new standard for future projects and make significant contributions to India’s energy self-sufficiency, economic growth, and NGEL’s goal of adding 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.”
