Suzlon bags about 100 MW wind project from GAIL, marks sixth repeat order

Renewable energy major Suzlon Group on Tuesday said it has secured an about 100 MW wind energy project from Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL), marking its sixth repeat order from the PSU and its fourth public sector contract in FY26.

The project will be executed in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra and is aimed at supporting the decarbonisation of GAIL’s upcoming petrochemical plant, the company said in a statement.

Suzlon will install 47 S120 wind turbine generators, each with a rated capacity of 2.1 MW. The company will handle the full project lifecycle, including supply, erection, commissioning and post-installation operations and maintenance services.

The latest order underlines Suzlon’s growing traction in the public sector segment, where it has been strengthening its presence with repeat business from key state-run firms. The company noted that this is its fourth PSU order in the current financial year, following contracts from NTPC, BPCL and others.

Ajay Kapur, CEO of Suzlon Group, said the order builds on a long-standing partnership with GAIL spanning over 15 years, with projects already executed across Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The Maharashtra project marks the first collaboration between the two entities in the state.

Suzlon currently has over 2.2 GW of installed wind energy capacity in Maharashtra, accounting for around 38% of the state’s total wind capacity, reinforcing its leadership position in one of India’s key renewable energy hubs.

India’s clean energy push

The order comes amid India’s accelerating push towards clean energy to meet its climate commitments. The country has set a target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070, driving demand for renewable projects across wind, solar and hybrid segments.

Wind energy, in particular, is expected to play a critical role in diversifying India’s energy mix and ensuring grid stability, alongside solar power. Increased participation from PSUs and industrial players in sourcing green energy is also seen as a key driver in scaling up capacity while reducing carbon footprints across sectors.
