Suzlon to Build 3 AI-Enabled Blade Factories to Boost Wind Manufacturing Capacity

Suzlon Group has announced plans to establish 3 new AI-powered blade factories to accelerate execution of its growing wind energy orderbook and meet rising demand in India’s wind sector. The new factories will be located in Gujarat, Karnataka, and a third site currently being finalised, according to Co-Founder Girish Tanti.

India’s Largest Smart Wind Manufacturing Network

Suzlon already operates 5 blade factories in Jaisalmer, Bhuj, Ratlam, Dhule and Anantapur. With 3 additional units, the company will expand to 18 wind manufacturing facilities, creating India’s largest smart wind production network.

These factories will be situated near major wind project sites to reduce logistics costs and improve efficiency.

Investment and Funding Plan

The new plants will be funded within Suzlon’s existing annual capex of ₹500–550 crore, which will come entirely from internal accruals. The company is currently finalising costs, timelines and specific locations for the 3 factories.

AI-Driven Smart Factories for Higher Efficiency

Suzlon’s new facilities will be equipped with:

• AI-enabled systems for quality and productivity
• Automated manufacturing processes
• Robotics for critical tasks
• Digital platforms integrating MES, ERP and IoT
• AI-based vision systems for instant defect detection
• Safety and quality tools like AskCQMS and the SAFER app

These technologies aim to deliver faster, more reliable and transparent manufacturing.

Boost to Jobs and Domestic Manufacturing

The expansion will create 3,000 direct and 12,000 indirect jobs, with 80% employment in rural areas. Suzlon says the move supports India’s push for domestically manufactured, highly efficient wind energy equipment.

Orderbook at Record Levels

Suzlon currently has its highest-ever order book of over 6 GW, driven by strong demand from clean energy developers.

In FY24, the company increased its manufacturing capacity by 50%, from 3 GW to 4.5 GW, including new capacity in Ratlam and Jaisalmer.

It has already deployed automation in blade manufacturing and is now expanding a full digital architecture across all factories.
