In addition, a media report suggested that the company is actively pursuing bids to supply wind turbines to Tata Power. The Tata Group is seeking proposals for wind turbines with a total capacity exceeding 3 gigawatts (GW) to be installed at its wind-solar hybrid renewable energy facilities across the country over the next three to five years, as reported by the Economic Times.

Original equipment manufacturers of wind turbines, including Siemens Gamesa, Senvion India, Envision Energy, and Suzlon Energy, are competing for the opportunity to fulfil Tata Power's requirements, the report added.

Furthermore, the company aims to enhance its renewable energy capabilities within other Tata Group companies, such as Tata Steel. 

In early September, Suzlon Energy received a significant order from NTPC Green Energy, the renewable energy division of the state-owned power producer NTPC, for the installation of 370 wind turbine generators (WTGs) of the S144 model. Each turbine will be equipped with a hybrid lattice tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 3.15 MW.

The S144 wind turbine is among the largest in India and can be extended up to 3.15 MW, depending on the wind conditions at the site. It is available with a hub height of 140 meters, which can be increased to 160 meters with its serial launch.

Suzlon has claimed that the S144, at a hub height of 160 meters, is also the tallest wind turbine in India. This new fleet is designed to provide 40% to 43% higher energy generation compared to Suzlon's previous turbine models.
