Suzlon, Jindal Renewables ink 400MW captive wind power deal to lead decarbonisation of steel production

Suzlon Group has joined hands with JSP Green Wind 1 Pvt. Ltd. (SPV of Jindal Renewables Power Private Limited) to decarbonise steel production with 400MW captive wind power deal. With this new order, Suzlon’s cumulative order book now stands at nearly 5.4 GW.

Suzlon will supply 127 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) towers, each having a rated capacity of 3.15 MW in the Koppal region of Karnataka. The power generated will be used for captive consumption in Steel Plants in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, boosting their operational sustainability while advancing India’s green energy goals.

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, “This collaboration not only redefines industrial sustainability but also aligns with India’s 2070 net‐zero vision. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for sustainable practices that foster growth while safeguarding the planet.”

With two Indian conglomerates joining hands to reassess and empower steelmaking operations, this collaboration is a true testament to ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’. I am confident that this partnership will inspire many industry players to reassess their operations, as we collectively work toward a more sustainable future.
