The wind turbine manufacturer reported a bottom line of Rs 200.6 crore in the July-September quarter, compared to Rs 102.3 crore in the same period last year. The results came after market hours on Monday. Revenue rose 48% to Rs 2,103.4 crore, over last year's Rs 1,421.4 crore.

As of October, Suzlon Energy's wind order book stood at its highest ever point at 5.1 GW, which it plans to execute within the next 18 to 24 months, as per officials in a post-earnings conference call.
To support this growth, the company is ramping up its manufacturing capacity to 4.5 GW by March 2025. In addition, it successfully monetised its corporate office for Rs 440 crore.
