Renewable energy solutions provider Suzlon on Tuesday said it has bagged a 204.75 MW wind energy order from Jindal Renewables.

The new order was bagged from Jindal Green Wind 1 Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Jindal Renewables.

Suzlon will supply 65 state-of-the-art S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with Hybrid Lattice Towers (HLT), each rated at a 3.15 MW capacity, a company statement said.

The order will be executed in the Karur region of Tamil Nadu.

The energy generated will be utilized for captive consumption in steel plants located in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, enhancing their operational sustainability and contributing to India's green energy transition.

"This third order with Suzlon is a clear demonstration of our commitment to sustainable practices and our vision to become the largest de-carbonisation solution provider," Bharat Saxena, President, Jindal Renewables, said.
