Suzlon is joining the global EV100 initiative of Climate Group, under which the wind power major will transition its entire vehicle fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035. It has already committed to power all its facilities with 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.

EV100 is a global initiative by Climate Group that brings together leading companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles and making electric transport the new normal by 2030.

This commitment entails Suzlon electrifying 655 vehicles across its operations, covering both owned and leased vehicles in certain categories. This initiative directly contributes to reducing Scope 1 emissions outlined in Suzlon’s ESG commitments for 2035, which arise from direct sources within the organization, particularly its vehicular fleet, the company said.

JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, said, “Our ESG framework—anchored in Organization, Product, and Operations—fuels both our sustainability agenda and business growth. With the S144 turbine, we have set a new benchmark as India’s lowest carbon footprint wind solution. Through our RE100 and EV100 commitments, we are ensuring that clean energy is complemented by clean mobility.”

By embedding accountability across Suzlon’s value chain with responsible sourcing and supplier partnerships, the company is advancing towards Net Zero well ahead of its stated targets, he noted.

Suzlon is the first Indian renewable energy company to join the EV100 initiative, further accentuating its role as a climate leader in the sector. These commitments represent key milestones in Suzlon’s broader decarbonization strategy, including its target to achieve Net Zero Scope 1 emissions by 2035.

With more than 21 gigawatts (GW) of wind energy capacity installed across 17 countries, Suzlon has in-house R&D centres in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and India, and world-class manufacturing facilities across India.
