The wind farms, which will be developed across the Indian states of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu, entail a total investment of approximately INR8.65bn ($191m).

The power projects will be completed in two phases, the first 50MW by March 2011 and remaining 100MW progressively by September 2011.

Suzlon will supply a mix of its S82-1.5MW and S88-2.1MW wind turbine models to the projects.

The power generated by the wind farms will be purchased by the respective state’s distribution utilities at the prevailing feed-in tariff under a long term power purchase agreement.
