JSP Green Wind 1, the subsidiary of Jindal Renewables, awarded a 302.4 MW wind power project to Suzlon Energy in the Koppal region of Karnataka in order to accelerate the country's green steel production.
Commercial and Industrial (C&I) customers now represent 56% of Suzlon's total order book, which has reached a record 5.4 GW, marking Suzlon's highest-ever order book to date.
Under the strategic agreement, Suzlon will supply 96 S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with hybrid lattice (HLT) towers, each of which will have a capacity of 3.15 MW.
The energy generated will be utilised for captive consumption in steel plants located in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, enhancing the company's operational sustainability.

The integration of renewable energy into industrial operations is not just an opportunity but a necessity for a cleaner and greener future. We encourage more organisations to reimagine their operations and embrace renewable energy solutions. Partnerships like ours with Jindal Renewables set a benchmark for how industries can innovate to meet both economic and environmental goals.”
