Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "We are proud to partner with the Jindal Group in a bold step towards a low-carbon future. This collaboration redefines industrial sustainability and aligns with India's 2070 net-zero vision, setting a new benchmark for sustainable practices in steel production."

Green Energy Integration for Sustainable Steel Production

Bharat Saxena, President of Jindal Renewables, highlighted the steelmaker's commitment to integrating green energy solutions into their operations, saying, "This collaboration marks the beginning of a new era in sustainable steel production. By incorporating wind power, we are reducing our overall carbon footprint and taking significant strides toward the Group's net-zero commitment by 2047."

Transforming Steel Industry through Wind Power

JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, underscored the importance of this collaboration for the steel sector, noting that decarbonization of industries like steel is vital for achieving India's renewable energy targets. He added, "With two Indian conglomerates joining hands to empower steelmaking operations, this partnership reflects the vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' and serves as an inspiration for other industries to reassess their sustainability practices."
