Indian wind energy solutions provider Suzlon Group announced it has won its largest order of the 2025–2026 fiscal year, with a total capacity of 838 MW. The order was placed by Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, one of India’s largest renewable energy companies. It is also Suzlon’s second-largest order to date, following the 1,544 MW order awarded by NTPC Green Energy.
The project is part of India’s Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) initiatives, which are designed to deliver consistent, grid-integrated renewable energy. The contract reinforces the growing importance of wind-dominated FDRE systems in the country’s power strategy.
Deployment across three key states
The order includes the supply of 266 S144 turbines, each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, designed and manufactured in India. The project will be implemented across Karnataka (302 MW), Maharashtra (271 MW), and Tamil Nadu (265 MW). These capacities fall under FDRE tenders awarded to state-owned enterprises SJVN Limited and NTPC Limited.
Suzlon stated that the order builds on a business relationship of more than a decade with Tata Power Renewable Energy, now marked by a third repeat order. The cooperation comes as Tata Power targets 100% renewable electricity generation by 2045.
Strengthening local industrial capabilities
The selected turbines are part of the S144 series, developed to optimise energy output at low wind speed sites. The integration of these units into an FDRE framework aims to ensure grid stability by delivering dispatchable power that can meet baseload demand.
This order also reflects the companies’ focus on leveraging locally developed technologies. It reinforces Suzlon’s manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand for large-scale projects relying on domestic engineering.
