Suzlon Energy Ltd. announced on December 4 that it has secured a 302.4 MW wind power project order from Jindal Renewables’ subsidiary, JSP Green Wind 1 Pvt. Ltd., in the Koppal region of Karnataka. This project aims to boost India’s green steel production efforts.
This new order follows Suzlon’s previous success in securing a 400 MW captive wind power project from Jindal Renewables in the same region last month, marking the largest-ever Commercial and Industrial (C&I) order for Suzlon from a single client.
