Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, highlighted the company’s continued progress in building a future-ready business, focusing on key strategies like talent development, next-gen technology, customer-centric solutions, and expanding operational capacity. Tanti emphasized the growing demand from Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sectors and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) that are prioritizing sustainability, positioning Suzlon as a key partner in their green energy goals.

JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, noted the company’s consistent quarter-on-quarter growth, with each business unit operating independently to drive performance. He highlighted the progress in expanding manufacturing capacity in India to fulfill a record-high order book of 5.5 GW, with ongoing ramp-up strategies ensuring long-term value creation and contributing to India’s renewable energy goals.

Himanshu Mody, CFO, stated that Q3 FY25 was focused on execution, reflected in strong profit growth driven by increased volume, margin expansion, and better operating leverage. With robust stakeholder support, Suzlon is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and maintain its leadership in the renewable energy sector.

Suzlon continues to strengthen its position in the Indian wind energy market, with its S144 wind turbine leading the industry. This model now accounts for 92% of Suzlon’s order book, reflecting its widespread adoption. A major milestone was achieved in Q3 FY25 with the successful delivery of the 300th S144 turbine, further solidifying Suzlon’s dominance in the sector.

This initiative aims to create approximately 12,000 green jobs, supporting India’s transition to sustainable energy while fostering a skilled workforce for the sector.

Suzlon has significantly expanded its wind turbine manufacturing capacity, reaching 4.5 GW annually by upgrading its nacelle facilities in Daman and Puducherry.
