Suzlon Group on Friday said it has secured a new order to install 29.4 MW wind capacity from BrightNight in Maharashtra.

The capacity is a part of BrightNight's 100 MW wind-solar hybrid project in Osmanabad in Maharashtra, Suzlon Group said in a statement.

"Suzlon will install 14 units of S120 140m wind turbine generators with a hybrid lattice tubular tower and a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each," it said without disclosing the order value.
