Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, "We have been able to create a solid foundation over the last FY across all business verticals of technology, manufacturing, projects, and OMS. This positions the Company strongly to lead the sector in years to come. We stacked up our largest ever order book of value-driven orders for more than 3.3 GW. We also added several leading Indian conglomerates to our customer portfolio with long-term relationships and repeat orders. This aligns well with our commitment to powering the industries' net-zero commitments with green energy. We rebuilt our organisational strength and expanded our leadership team, acquiring critical multi-industry talent."

"Recognising the importance of securing a resilient and rapidly scalable supply chain in our growth journey, Suzlon undertook several initiatives in FY24 to develop vendor ecosystems across our value chain with a consistent focus on lowering the cost of electricity while increasing access to affordable renewable energy."

JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, said, "FY24 has been a year of consolidation and steady progress. In addition to our order book expansion, we have done well on the technology, manufacturing, and EPC fronts. We launched our S144 - 3.x MW series and garnered a sizable order book for the same. The commercialisation of the S144 was completed and delivered it to the market as per plan. During the year, we commissioned 882 MW, which is a growth of 78% over the previous year. With a clear customer-first approach, we are driving operational excellence on the foundations of Safety, Quality, ESG, and Diversity. In addition to business consolidation, organisation building had been a key area of focus for us in FY24, enabling us to meet the growing stakeholder expectations."

"FY24 has been an extremely gratifying year as we built the foundation for future growth. It has also been a year when we could create value and excellence across our value-chain, positioning Suzlon as a complete end- to-end solutions provider for wind energy."

Our consolidated balance sheet is strengthened with a sizable net worth of INR 3,920 crores, consolidated PAT of INR 714 crores, and a landmark EBITDA of INR 1,029 crores. This year saw profits and profit growth across all four quarters. We continue to maintain a cost-conscious approach even while factoring in our growth plans. Our priority remains timely execution of our order book, and I believe that we are moving in the right direction. I am excited about the organisation-wide digitisation and digitalisation initiatives that will help unlock value across our businesses, particularly the service business."

"Our service business performed well and has consolidated on its strength of providing life-time service of wind assets with a clear focus on increasing customer ROI, extending the life of customer assets, and adhering to the highest standards of safety, ESG, and responsiveness.
