Suzlon, Jindal Renewables Expand Ties With 302 MW Wind Project

Suzlon and JSP Green Wind 1 Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Jindal Renewables, have expanded their partnership with an additional 302.4 MW wind power project in the Koppal region of Karnataka.

The partnership is aimed at accelerating green steel production. This second order brings the total capacity from Jindal Renewables to 702.4 MW, making it Suzlon’s largest‐ever commercial and industrial (C&I) order from a single customer.

Last month, Suzlon secured a 400 MW captive wind power project with Jindal Renewables in the same region, highlighting the collaboration between the two companies. Commercial and Industrial (C&I) customers now account for 56% of Suzlon’s total order book, which stands at a record 5.4 GW—Suzlon’s highest‐ever order book to date.

Orders for 3.15 MW turbines

Under the agreement, Suzlon will supply 96 state‐of‐the‐art S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs)  with Hybrid Lattice (HLT) Towers, each rated at a 3.15 MW capacity.  The energy generated will be utilized for captive consumption in steel plants located in Chhattisgarh and  Odisha, enhancing their operational sustainability and contributing to India’s green energy transition.

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, “This  collaboration  will  propel  our  joint  green  steel  mission  forward,  while  significantly  contributing  to  India’s  ambitious renewable energy target of 50% electricity from non‐fossil fuels by 2030.”

Bharat Saxena, President, of Jindal Renewables, said, “Partnering with Suzlon for lower emission steel  production is just the beginning—there will be many more such initiatives as we continue to lead the way in  adopting renewable energy solutions.”

JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, said, “Initiatives like this are critical for transforming hard‐to‐abate sectors, such as steel, into models of sustainable growth. The integration of renewable energy into industrial operations is not just an opportunity but a necessity for a cleaner and greener future.”
