Pune: Suzlon Group today announced that it has secured a 248.85 MW wind energy order from the ArcelorMittal Group through its renewable energy entity in India. This order is part of a 550 MW hybrid project in Gujarat, under which the wind component has been awarded to Suzlon for captive use at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel’s facilities in India.

Under the contract, Suzlon will deliver 79 S144 wind turbine generators, each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, for installation at Bachau in Kutch district. As per the company, this marks Suzlon’s fourth major wind order aimed at decarbonising steel production, taking its contribution to approximately 1,156 MW of green steel capacity in India. Over the past 12 months, Suzlon has partnered with leading steelmakers to accelerate the transition to low-carbon steel manufacturing.

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, added, “We are proud to partner with ArcelorMittal, one of the world’s most respected steel producers. Steel is the backbone of India’s infrastructure, yet it remains one of the most energy-intensive industries. As the sector accelerates its journey toward decarbonization, renewable energy has become a competitive and viable contributor. At Suzlon, we are committed to making this transition a reality through strong partnerships and industry coalitions like the Indian Steel Green Council.”

JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, stated, “We welcome ArcelorMittal as a valued partner in India’s journey towards a low-carbon future.

We expect EPC to drive an increasing share of our upcoming order wins.”
