The project is set to be commissioned in the Jamnagar district of Gujarat and is worth Rs 305.32 crore, said a press release from the company.
 
 “Suzlon is pleased to once again partner with GMDC in driving forward their commitment to sustainable energy, and through this contribute to the development of Gujarat’s low carbon economy.
