Industry Overview


Suzlon Energy faces competition from other key players in the renewable energy sector in India, along with their market caps as listed below:

Inox Wind Ltd: ₹3,936 crore
Orient Green Power Limited: ₹660 crore
Indowind Energy Limited: ₹140 crore

ICRA anticipates that demand prospects for renewable energy capacity expansion, including wind energy, by the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment will remain high. This will be due to the increased tariff competitiveness and the C&I players' strong aspirations to meet their future energy needs through renewable sources.

The C&I segment accounts for the energy demand in India as a whole to the tune of 40–45%. Even if the C&I segment uses renewable energy to meet 20% of its energy needs, the need for additional renewable energy capacity is expected to be significant by 2030, at roughly 75 G.W. Additionally, the Government of India (GoI) continues to place a high priority on renewable energy policy, with a net zero energy transition objective of 2070.


Risks and Concerns


The risks involved in the renewable energy sector are as follows:
  • Financial risks: Renewable energy projects are always large scale and need funding from the very start to the maturation of the project. Plus, the capital has to be huge to fully fund the project. The risk of projects failing also increases the risk of investment in the renewable energy sector.
  • Risks in planning and construction: In the phases of project development, before construction, there are chances of delays in the process of site selection, land acquisition, permission, barriers, environmental factors, etc., all of which can pose a threat to the overall project and people’s investment in it.
  • Inefficient risk analysis: Companies that do not have enough resources or the adequate knowledge to conduct an accurate risk assessment will fail to foresee hurdles in the development of the project.
  • Risks of weather conditions: Changing weather conditions are a huge risk to renewable energy project operations. When the weather conditions are uncertain, they can stop or even damage the components of the system. For example, solar panels fail to generate energy in rain-like conditions.
