This is a key milestone that is required for successful commercialisation of the product, Suzlon Energy said upon receiving the RLMM.

It is imperative for us to offer technologically advanced products that are best suited for sites in India, ensuring a higher return on investment (ROI) for our customers."

Chalasani suggested the S144 3 MW series has 90 per cent domestic content. “We believe that this product will go a long way in driving India’s renewable energy targets towards a more sustainable country.
