Under the INR9bn ($149.7m) contract, Inox Wind will provide 85 units of 2MW wind turbines with 100m rotor diameter.
Inox Wind CEO Kailash Tarachandani said, "With a focus on technology and customer centricity, we have launched this new product for our clients who can achieve optimum energy yield with lower wind speeds."
Inox Wind will also install and commission as well as operate and maintain the project.
Continuum Wind Energy CEO and director Arvind Bansal said in pursuit of Continuum Wind Energy’s strategy of creating efficient, large scale, world class wind farms in India, Continuum Wind Energy is excited to partner with Inox given their technology generates more energy in low speed winds.
"We believe that the successful implementation of such projects will not only result in a cleaner energy base for India but also will help to empower the rural communities of Madhya Pradesh," Bansal added.
Inox Wind director Devansh Jain said Inox’s 100m rotor diameter turbines would be a game changer in the wind industry in India.
Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners Investment Strategy managing director and head Chris Koski said, "We are excited to support and strengthen our close partnership with Continuum Wind Energy, which is pursuing a differentiated strategy of building and owning large scale, efficient wind farms in India."
