NEW DELHI, April 21 (Reuters) - India's Suzlon Group on Tuesday launched its 5 megawatt (MW) and 6.3 MW wind turbine models in Europe, targeting the continent's repowering and new-build markets.

Suzlon said Europe is entering a key repowering phase, creating demand for higher-capacity, site-specific turbines

Suzlon has installed about 21.5 gigawatt (GW) of wind capacity across 17 countries, with around 15.5 GW in India and nearly 6 GW installed overseas

The company has nearly 660 MW installed capacity in Europe

Europe has nearly 100 GW of new wind project potential and 17 GW of repowering potential, says Executive Vice Chairman Girish Tanti

The global wind industry installed a record 165 gigawatts of new capacity last year, up 40% from 2024 and mostly driven by China
