Source: Central Electricity Authority

Opportunities: Favorable Market Conditions

✓ India’s Renewable Energy target of 500 GW by 2030 out of which 140 GW is Wind.

✓ MNRE has in-principle agreed to discontinue E-reverse auctions for wind power projects

✓ MNRE’s draft policy estimates a Wind re-powering potential of 25.4 GW

✓ New demand from large industries/hard to abate sectors, green fuel producers and e-mobility

✓ Auction activity gaining momentum with high focus on Hybrid and RTC

✓ Global wind installation for 2021 at 103 GW shows resilience of wind technology

✓ Strong visibility for market size expansion for both wind & renewable sector

Suzlon well positioned to capture the market opportunity

Drivers for volume growth

GoI Targets till FY 2030: • 500 GW Renewable Capacities • Green Hydrogen Policy targeting production of 5 MT p.a. • Power supplied to grid from Renewables to reach 40% • Positive impact on policy support and bidding activity

New Business segments:

• Increase of coal price and currency volatility – Large industries

are investing heavily in renewable

• New demand is emerging in big way for Green Fuel Production • C&I segment is gaining strong momentum (Wind is critical for

high PLF projects)

Enablers for Wind Energy growth: • Future is of hybrid projects, as most of the customers and utilities prefer higher PLF and scheduled power, reduces LCoE. • Wind Repowering: ~25.4 GW existing capacities would need

repowering as per draft policy from MNRE

• Wind generation profile and high PLF makes wind energy competitive as compared to solar and hence suitable for RE RTC
