Suzlon has secured a significant 400MW captive wind power deal with JSP Green Wind 1, a special purpose vehicle of Jindal Renewables Power, to decarbonise India’s steel-making industry.

The order, which Suzlon describes as the industry’s largest commercial and industrial (C&I) deal, adds nearly 5.4GW to its cumulative order book.

Suzlon will supply 127 turbines, each with a rated capacity of 3.15MW and featuring Hybrid Lattice Tubular towers, for installation in the Koppal region of Karnataka.

The generated power will be channelled to steel manufacturing operations, playing a crucial role in boosting their operational sustainability.

Jindal Renewables president Bharat Saxena said: “As part of our commitment to cleaner energy solutions, we are taking breakthrough steps to integrate green energy into steel-making, reducing the group’s overall carbon footprint and ensuring long-term sustainability.

“This collaboration marks the beginning of a new era in sustainable steel production, enabling us to achieve Group’s net-zero commitment by 2047.”

This deal is a substantial step towards enhancing the sustainability of steel plants in Chhattisgarh and Odisha and supports India’s clean energy transition.

Suzlon Group chief executive JP Chalasani said: “Decarbonisation of the steel sector is a critical area that requires intervention if we want to realise India’s renewable energy targets.

“With two Indian conglomerates joining hands to reassess and empower steel-making operations, this collaboration is a true testament to ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India).

“I am confident that this partnership will inspire many industry players to reassess their operations, as we collectively work toward a more sustainable future.”
