In our wind energy
business, we focus on
providing integrated
solutions for our
clients in India and
abroad, which include
the development and
manufacture of WTGs,
identification of
suitable sites for wind
farms, technical
planning, infrastructure
development,
installation and
commissioning of WTGs,
connection to power
grids and after-sale O&M
services for WTGs
supplied by us.
To leverage on our
strengths and expertise
in manufacturing
biomass-based power
plants, we began
marketing WTGs
manufactured by
third-party WTG
manufacturers in 2004.
In September 2006, we
received approval and
certification of
Deutsches Wind
Energie-Institut GmbH
for the design of our
250KW-class WTG, after
which we started
manufacturing and
selling our own 250KW
WTGs. In April 2007, we
received ISO9001:2000
certification from DAS
Certification Ltd. for
the manufacture, supply,
installation,
commissioning,
maintenance of wind
turbines and development
of wind turbines.
Certain members of our
senior management in
this division have been
active in the wind
energy industry since
1993. As of March 31,
2008, we have supplied
and/or installed more
than 140 250KW WTGs in
various prime wind sites
in India.
With a view to pursuing
growth opportunities for
WTGs in India and in the
global market, we have
taken initiatives to
broaden our WTG product
portfolio by focusing on
the manufacture of
higher capacity MW-class
machines. We have
entered into two joint
ventures with Leitwind,
a Netherlands company
that has developed
certain proprietary
technology used in WTGs,
to broaden our WTG
product range. Leitwind
is a leader in ropeway
systems and has
developed permanent
magnet-based drive
technology, which is the
key component used in
WTGs.
Leitner Shriram, which
is owned 51% by Leitwind
and 49% by the Company,
was formed on January
10, 2007 with the
purpose of manufacturing
MW-class wind turbines.
We expect Leitner
Shriram to commence
manufacturing of 1.35 MW
WTGs in October 2008.
With effect from April
1, 2008, the 250KW
WTG business of Shriram
EPC has been merged with
with Leitner Shriram JV.
