India’s largest wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Energy has secured a 30MW order from Altrade Group to install 30MW of wind capacity in the Jaisalmer and Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan.

Suzlon said it won the orders through two of its portfolio companies Tarini Minerals Private and Indrani Patnaik.
Under the contract, Suzlon will set up, operate and maintain the projects, which will comprise 20 Suzlon S82 wind turbine generators, each with a capacity of 1.5MW, and are due to be commissioned by January 2011.
This project is the Altrade Group’s maiden venture into wind energy. The Orissa-based Altrade Group focuses primarily on the iron ore mining industry but is diversifying into the real estate and hospitality sectors.
The group said it also has plans to register the projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
The project will extend Suzlon’s hold of the Rajasthan wind market, increasing its installed base to over 700MW.
Ashok D’Sa, president for Suzlon Energy South Asia and Middle East, said, ‘We are happy to contribute to the group’s green initiative and help them achieve their sustainability goals.’
Suzlon claims to have captured half the wind energy market share in India for 12 consecutive years and in Rajasthan alone it has a capacity of more than 600MW installed.
