Further Information: In the early 2000’s Suzlon was considered the 5th largest wind turbine supplier in the world. To do so they took on a large debt, so that when business dropped after the 2008 financial crisis, they became loss-making and remained so for 7 years. In 2015 they brought in new investors and sold Senvion, a large German subsidiary. This, plus larger revenue from the remaining business, put the company into overall profit for the year ending March 2016. However, without special items such as the sale of Senvion, there was still an after tax loss of £2.1m.

By mid 2018 Suzlon had 12GW of wind power installed in India.
