Wind energy major Suzlon Energy is revamping its business model to move beyond conventional wind turbine manufacturing and position itself as a provider of integrated renewable energy solutions combining wind, solar and battery energy storage. The new strategy, branded “Suzlon 2.0”, aims to address customer demand for faster execution timelines and reduced project risk.

Under the Suzlon 2.0 approach, the company will offer end-to-end project delivery, spanning development, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), as well as lifetime operations and maintenance, while retaining wind energy as the core optimisation driver. Vice Chairman Girish Tanti said the shift reflects a move from auction-driven execution to demand-led planning, enabling better project readiness and risk mitigation.

Tanti noted that hybrid renewable projects are most complex on the wind side, as incorrect energy mix planning can increase overall power costs despite delivering similar output levels. By optimising wind, solar and storage integration at the design stage, Suzlon aims to improve project economics and long-term performance.

Suzlon estimates the total renewable energy market in India till FY30 at ₹12 lakh crore across solar, wind and battery storage, with hybrid projects alone accounting for ₹17.25 lakh crore. By collaborating with industrial, commercial, utility and PSU customers on three- to five-year demand planning cycles, the company plans to make projects construction-ready at an early stage. This, in turn, is expected to compress execution timelines to 12–18 months and significantly lower overall project risk.
