Suzlon has strengthened its partnership with Sunsure Energy by securing a repeat 195 MW wind energy order, further reinforcing the market success of its 3 MW platform, whose cumulative sales are now approaching the 9 GW mark. The latest project builds on the growing collaboration between the two companies, taking their combined project portfolio to nearly 300 MW across Maharashtra and Karnataka, with potential for further expansion.
The new order also strengthens Suzlon’s presence in Karnataka, where its orderbook has now surpassed 2 GW, underlining the state’s significance as a major wind energy market in India. Suzlon currently operates an installed base of around 1,500 MW in Karnataka, accounting for nearly 24% of its total installations across South India.
Under the agreement, Suzlon will deploy 65 of its S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a rated capacity of 3 MW, at the project site in Karnataka’s Bijapur district. The company will be responsible for supplying the turbines and executing the project, including erection and commissioning activities. Post installation, Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services. Alongside this project, the company is executing additional commercial and industrial (C&I) wind energy projects in Karnataka with a combined capacity of 664 MW.
Girish Tanti, Executive Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group said, “As highlighted by Shri Narendra Modi in his recent Mann Ki Baat address, India’s growing focus on renewable energy, especially wind is playing a critical role in building an energy-secure future. Our 3 MW platform is contributing to this vision immensely as our most successful innovation yet and a key driver for Suzlon’s growth in India. Additionally, Karnataka has emerged as our largest market by orderbook with over 2 GW orders from our existing orderbook, making it a top priority market for us alongside Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. The strong growth is driven by rising demand from the large commercial and industrial (C&I) segment, where wind is increasingly preferred for RTC solutions.”
Shashank Sharma, CEO, Sunsure Energy said, “The next generation of clean energy infrastructure will not be the one that works when the sun shines or the wind blows – it will be defined by its ability to deliver power when India needs it the most. At Sunsure Energy, we are pioneering this next generation of renewable energy infrastructure by building reliable, round-the-clock renewable power solutions that will power and decarbonize India’s industries, emerging AI and data centre demand, electric mobility, and the broader deep electrification of the economy. As we rapidly scale our RTC portfolio, partnering with Suzlon for wind energy was a natural choice, given their proven track record of reliably executing large-scale projects. Backed by their advanced technology platform and strong lifecycle O&M capabilities, we believe this partnership will play a pivotal role in accelerating the growth of our renewable energy portfolio and shaping India’s clean energy future.”
Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group said, “We have built close to 300 MW of partnership with Sunsure Energy, driven by our consistent focus on quality, execution, and lifecycle support, which makes us a dependable partner for large and critical projects. This repeat order reflects the trust placed in our capabilities.”
