Suzlon Group has secured a 248.85 MW wind energy order from the ArcelorMittal Group through its renewable energy arm in India. The order forms part of a 550 MW hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat and will be deployed for captive consumption at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel facilities in the country.
With this project, Suzlon further strengthens its position as the largest wind energy player in Gujarat, where it has an installed base of around 4.5 GW that continues to expand. The latest order also marks Suzlon’s fourth major wind energy project supporting the decarbonisation of steel production, taking its cumulative contribution to approximately 1,156 MW of green steel capacity in India. Over the past year, the company has partnered with leading steelmakers to advance the shift toward low-carbon steel manufacturing.
Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said,
“We are proud to partner with ArcelorMittal, one of the world’s most respected steel producers. Steel is the backbone of India’s infrastructure, yet it remains one of the most energy-intensive industries. As the sector accelerates its journey toward decarbonization, renewable energy has become a competitive and viable contributor. At Suzlon, we are committed to making this transition a reality through strong partnerships and industry coalitions like the Indian Steel Green Council.”
JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, stated,
“We welcome Arcelor Mittal as a valued partner in India’s journey towards a low carbon future. This project reflects Suzlon’s strategic focus on the EPC segment, where we aim to gradually increase its share to 50 per cent of our overall order book. We expect EPC to drive an increasing share of our upcoming order wins.”
Commenting on the partnership, Amit Harlalka, Director, ArcelorMittal Sustainable Solutions India, said,
“We are committed to supporting energy transition and securing supply of clean energy for our operations-a goal that demands trusted partners. With a 30-year track record and demonstrated reliability in wind energy, Suzlon stands out as our preferred partner. This partnership reflects our shared vision to accelerate green steel production and build a sustainable future for India.”
The project underscores the growing role of renewable energy in hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, as Indian industry intensifies efforts to meet sustainability and decarbonisation goals while ensuring long-term energy security.
