Suzlon Energy is an Indian multinational wind turbine manufacturer headquartered in Pune, Western India.
History
Tulsi Tanti was a Gujarati businessman managing a small textile company. Due to the erratic availability of local power and its rising cost, the highest business expenditure after the raw materials was electricity.[1][2] Tanti ventured into wind energy production as a way to secure the energy needs for his textile company. After commissioning two wind turbines, Tanti discovered that wind energy was an even better business than textiles and founded Suzlon Energy.[3] It set up its first manufacturing facility at Diu. In 1996, Suzlon commissioned its first customer wind turbine for Indian Petrochemical Corporation Ltd at Dhank, Gujarat. The wind farm has powered 70,000 households in Gujarat completing over 25 years of operations.[4]
