Suzlon Group, India’s leading renewable energy solutions provider, has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Indian energy company to join the RE100 initiative, a global campaign led by Climate Group in collaboration with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Through this move, Suzlon has pledged to power 100% of its operations with renewable energy by 2030 across all 15 of its manufacturing facilities.
This major sustainability commitment firmly positions Suzlon as a trailblazer in India’s clean energy transition, reinforcing its leadership in responsible, low-carbon manufacturing. The company’s participation in RE100 is part of a larger decarbonization roadmap, which includes achieving Carbon Neutrality (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) by 2035 and reaching Net Zero emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2040.
Scope 1 emissions cover direct emissions from Suzlon’s operations, Scope 2 accounts for indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and Scope 3 includes emissions across the entire value chain—from suppliers to end-of-life product disposal.
“True Leadership in Renewable Energy Begins at Home”: CEO JP Chalasani
Commenting on the announcement, JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, said:
“Joining RE100 is a powerful affirmation of our belief that true leadership in renewable energy begins at home – in how we run our own operations. We are not just delivering clean power to the world; we are ensuring that every megawatt we produce is backed by a manufacturing process powered entirely by renewables.”
“This commitment is both a responsibility to the planet and a promise to future generations – to lead by example, to innovate without compromise, and to embed sustainability into the DNA of everything we do,” he added.
