Wind turbine maker Suzlon today announced the completion of 6.25 MW wind power project for country's leading bourse National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Suzlon Group was the technical partner for supply and commissioning of the project.
"National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) completed 6.25 MW wind power project... The project completion is a milestone achievement for NSE and Suzlon since it is India's first Stock Exchange to deploy wind energy to off-set its captive power usage," the company said in a statement.
Sixty-five per cent of the energy consumption of NSE office located in Mumbai will be met by the wind project, it said.
"The project... Will help in reducing 12,730 tonnes CO2 emissions annually," it said.
"The investment in wind power project is part of our long term focus on sustainable development... Harnessing wind energy for our operations is a step in that direction. This is in addition to the various power saving and energy efficient measures being undertaken at the premises," NSE spokesperson Mahesh Haldipur said.
"NSE's thrust on sustainable development and investments in wind energy will also encourage other corporates to harness wind energy for meeting their energy requirements and to hedge power cost for next 25 years thereby contribute towards a greener tomorrow," Suzlon Group Chief Sales Officer Ishwar Mangal said.
