The company’s order book currently as an all-time high of 5.5 GW, which the management plans to execute over the next 18 months. In an interaction with CNBC-TV18 on January 29 this year, Suzlon Group CFO Himanshu Mody had said that the company currently has a 4.5 GW manufacturing capacity annually and that he anticipates a capex between ₹300 crore to ₹400 crore every year for the next two to three years.
