Inox Wind gains on bagging order of 150 MW from NTPC

This order will help NTPC achieve its target of having over 60 GW (giga-watt) renewable energy capacity, constituting nearly 50% of its overall power generation capacity by 2032. The project will be executed on a turnkey basis at Dayapar site, Kutch district in the state of Gujarat and is scheduled to be commissioned by April 2023.

As part of the order, Inox Wind will supply and install DF 113/92 - 2 MW capacity wind turbine generators with 113 meters rotor diameter and 92 meters hub height. The common infrastructure facilities such as the 220 KV pooling substation at Dayapar and extra high voltage transmission line has already been commissioned and thus, the project will be executed on a plug and play basis with a shorter gestation period. Further, as part of the order, Inox Wind will provide comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) for the lifetime of the project. This will add to its multi gigawatt O&M fleet and help grow the overall profitability.
