Suzlon Group has taken a major step in advancing industrial decarbonisation in India by securing a 248.5 MW wind energy project from global steel major ArcelorMittal. The project will supply clean power to ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India’s manufacturing operations, supporting the company’s transition toward low-carbon steel production.
The order forms part of a larger 550 MW hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat, which will combine wind and solar generation to provide reliable green electricity for captive industrial consumption. The initiative reflects the growing shift among heavy industries toward renewable energy procurement to meet sustainability targets, ESG commitments, and rising carbon compliance requirements.
With this project, Suzlon continues to strengthen its footprint in the green steel segment, taking its cumulative renewable capacity contribution for steel manufacturers to over 1.1 GW. The company has emerged as a key enabler of clean energy adoption in hard-to-abate sectors, where decarbonisation is both technically complex and capital intensive.
The project will be executed under Suzlon’s end-to-end EPC model, covering turbine supply, project execution, and long-term operations and maintenance. This integrated delivery approach ensures high system reliability, optimized performance, and predictable energy output for large industrial consumers.
Industry analysts note that renewable-powered captive projects are becoming a strategic priority for steel manufacturers, driven by volatile power tariffs, carbon pricing pressures, and global mechanisms such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Clean energy sourcing is increasingly being viewed not just as a sustainability initiative, but as a long-term competitiveness strategy.
The order also reinforces Suzlon’s strong commercial momentum, with its total order book standing at over 6.2 GW, backed by robust execution performance and rising investor confidence. The company continues to expand its role as a full-spectrum renewable energy solutions provider, supporting India’s industrial energy transition
