THE 350-PLUS employees of wind energy major Suzlon Energy’s nacelle and electrical assembly unit at Dunetha village in Daman are looking forward to return of prosperity. They know their unit’s importance in Suzlon’s manufacturing prowess—about 3,150 MW capacity for wind turbine parts. Nacelles, sitting on top of 120-140 metres high lattice and tubular tower structures at wind farms, house power generating components such as generator, gearbox, braking system and electrical assembly. The Daman unit gives life to 100 tonnes wind turbine generators or WTGs.

When Suzlon was growing fast from 2004 to 2010, this was a 100% export unit, capable of making three machines a day. Suzlon’s financial troubles forced it to focus on local market. Orders have been erratic for past five years. Suzlon had two similar units at Pondicherry and Udupi which are not operational.
