Suzlon to Supply Turbines for Tata Power’s 700 MW Andhra Wind Project

Tata Power has signed a deal with Suzlon Energy for the development, construction, and supply of 700 megawatt (MW) wind turbines in Andhra Pradesh.

Tata Power will develop a 700 megawatt (MW) wind energy project in Andhra Pradesh. The INR 6,000 crore project is part of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in March 2025 between Tata Power and the Andhra Pradesh government to develop up to 7,000 MW of renewable energy capacity in the state. 

The 7 GW of renewable energy - including solar, wind, and hybrid projects with or without storage solutions - is likely to see investments to the tune of INR 49,000 crore, making it one of the largest renewable energy investments in the state.

The project will mark Andhra Pradesh’s first wind power installation since 2019. Turbines for the project will be manufactured at Suzlon’s facility in the state, which resumed production in 2024 after a revamp.

Renewable Energy Push

Andhra Pradesh currently has 9 gigawatts (GW) of installed clean energy capacity - significantly lower than neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. 

In October 2024, Naidu unveiled the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy, with detailed guidelines issued in March 2025. The five-year plan targets over 160 GW of renewable energy capacity, potential investments worth INR 10 lakh crore, and employment generation for about 7.5 lakh people. It covers large-scale renewable deployment, pumped storage projects, and green hydrogen production.

RE Investments Surging in the State

The state has attracted major investments in the renewable sector in recent times. For instance, Tata Power has committed INR 49,000 crore under the policy for solar, wind, and hybrid projects. 

Other recent announcements include Reliance Power’s plan to invest over INR 10,000 crore in what is expected to be Asia’s largest solar and storage facility, Bondada Engineering’s allocation for 2,000 MW AC / 2,600 MWp DC solar capacity. Greenko also entered with a multi-gigawatt integrated renewable project, combining 4 GW solar, 1 GW wind, and 1.68 GW/10.08 GWh pumped hydro storage for industrial decarbonisation.
