In a move that stirred investor speculation and media buzz, Suzlon Energy Ltd has officially clarified that it is not obligated to disclose any information under SEBI Regulation 30 regarding a reported ₹60 billion wind energy deal with Tata Power. The company’s statement comes in response to a Business Standard report suggesting that Suzlon had signed a massive 700 MW wind project agreement with Tata Power in Andhra Pradesh.
The Rumor Mill: What Sparked the Buzz?
On August 12, 2025, Business Standard published a report claiming that Tata Power and Suzlon Energy had entered into a ₹6,000 crore (₹60 billion) agreement for a 700 MW wind energy project in Andhra Pradesh. The news quickly gained traction, fueling investor excitement and speculation about Suzlon’s future order book and revenue prospects.
However, Suzlon Energy swiftly responded to the report, stating that no disclosure was required under Regulation 30 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR). This regulation mandates companies to disclose material events that could impact their financials or share price. Suzlon’s clarification implies that either the deal is not finalized, not material enough, or not within the scope of mandatory disclosure.
Market Reaction: Suzlon Shares Slip Despite Strong Q1
Despite reporting robust Q1 FY26 results, Suzlon’s shares fell over 4% on August 13, closing at ₹60.33 on the BSE. The decline was partly attributed to investor disappointment over the lack of confirmation regarding the Tata Power deal, and partly due to profit-taking after a strong run-up in recent months.
Suzlon had delivered its highest-ever first-quarter execution, with volumes rising 62% YoY to 444 MW. Revenue grew 55% to ₹3,117 crore, and EBITDA surged 62% to ₹599 crore. However, net profit after tax rose only 7% to ₹324 crore due to a deferred tax charge of ₹134 crore.
Adding to the uncertainty, the company announced the exit of Group CFO Himanshu Mody, effective August 31, 2025. While management assured that a replacement is in the final stages, the departure of a key executive raised concerns among analysts.
The Bigger Picture: Suzlon’s Growth Story
Suzlon Energy has been on a turnaround path, with consistent growth in its order book over the last 10 quarters. It secured 1 GW of new orders in Q1 FY26, taking its total order book to 5.7 GW. Its S144 turbine model has become the dominant product in the Indian market, with over 5 GW in orders.
The company expects India to add 6 GW of wind energy capacity in FY26 and 7–8 GW in FY27, aligning with government targets for renewable energy expansion. Suzlon’s management has maintained guidance for 60% growth in deliveries, revenue, and EBITDA for FY26.
Analyst Views: Mixed Sentiment
Brokerages remain cautiously optimistic about Suzlon’s prospects. Motilal Oswal maintained a “Buy” rating with a target price of ₹80, citing strong momentum and regulatory tailwinds. However, it flagged concerns over installations trailing deliveries and the CFO’s departure.
JM Financial also retained a “Buy” rating but trimmed its target to ₹78, noting that installations have remained at just 20% of deliveries for the past three quarters. ICICI Securities and Nuvama echoed similar sentiments, highlighting execution risks and slower-than-expected new order inflows.
Despite these concerns, analysts believe that Suzlon’s fundamentals remain strong, and any confirmation of the Tata Power deal could act as a major catalyst for the stock.
What’s Next?
Investors will be watching closely for any future disclosures or confirmations regarding the Tata Power deal. If finalized, the ₹60 billion project could significantly boost Suzlon’s order book and revenue visibility. Until then, the company’s execution on existing orders and its ability to maintain margins will be key to sustaining investor confidence.
Suzlon’s clarification under SEBI Regulation 30 may have cooled immediate excitement, but the underlying growth story remains intact. With India’s renewable energy sector poised for expansion, Suzlon is well-positioned to capitalize—deal or no deal.
