The projects will be located across Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

"We continue to have a strong focus on the Indian market as it offers a favourable renewable energy environment. We will leverage our manufacturing facilities across India and continue to partner with our clients to contribute towards renewable energy portfolio," Suzlon Chairman Tulsi Tanti said.
