Suzlon Group and Jindal Renewables have deepened their partnership with a new 302.4 MW wind power project in Karnataka’s Koppal region. This collaboration boosts Suzlon’s cumulative capacity for Jindal Renewables to 702.4 MW, making it the largest commercial and industrial (C&I) order from a single customer in India.
The project will utilize 96 advanced S144 wind turbine generators, each with a capacity of 3.15 MW, to power steel plants in Chhattisgarh and Odisha. This initiative aligns with India’s goal of sourcing 50% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030.
