"Suzlon Group... announced a significant milestone achievement of installing its 10,000th WTG (wind turbine generator) during the first half of 2015," the company said in a release.

"Suzlon has come a long way since its maiden turbine installation in Gujarat in 1995," it added.

"This milestone reinforces the confidence our customers have in Suzlon and also in its products and project execution capabilities.
