Suzlon gets $1.28b order from Caparo

Mumbai: Suzlon Energy has received an order worth $1.28 billion for supply of wind turbines aggregating to 1,000 MW to Caparo Energy (India), the Pune-headquartered company said in a statement on Friday.

Caparo Energy, an independent power producer, plans to commission 500 MW by March 2012, and another 500 MW by March 2013 in India.

"Price of the turbines for the first 500 MW is fixed, while the next 500 MW would have index-based price so that cost rise can be absorbed," Chief Financial Officer Robin Banerjee told ET.

Caparo's order comes at a time when Suzlon is struggling with order inflow as global demand for wind energy continues to be muted.
