Suzlon Plans Three AI-Powered Blade Factories by 2027
Suzlon plans to build three factories that make blades for wind turbines.
They will be in Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and are expected to open by 2027.
The company says it will spend about ₹550 crore of its own funds.
The factories will use computers, robots and other technology to help make blades and check their quality.
Suzlon expects the project to create about 3,000 direct jobs and 12,000 other jobs.
It says many of these jobs will benefit people in rural areas.
The new factories will add to the manufacturing sites Suzlon already operates.
The company says the investment will help it meet demand for wind-energy equipment.
Suzlon plans to invest about ₹550 crore in three wind-turbine blade factories in Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The factories are expected to become operational by 2027 and will be funded entirely through internal accruals.
The expansion is projected to create about 3,000 direct and 12,000 indirect jobs, with nearly 80% benefiting rural communities.
The plants will use AI, robotics, automation and digital systems, increasing Suzlon’s manufacturing network to 18 factories.
Suzlon reported a 6 GW order book as of March 2026, while FY26 revenue was ₹16,679 crore and net profit was ₹3,163 crore.
