Suzlon cards 1,325 MW and ₹10,000 crore at Govindawada; Lokesh is billed to open S144 blade lines at Huliker today.

Suzlon cards 1,325 MW and ₹10,000 crore at Govindawada; Lokesh is billed to open S144 blade lines at Huliker today.

The company card is 1,325 MW and ₹10,000 crore at Govindawada. The blade lines at Huliker are scheduled to open today.

On a Monday public filing updated 24 August 2026, Suzlon Group said it is expanding in Andhra Pradesh with new wind-power projects totalling 1,325 MW and an estimated investment of ₹10,000 crore in the Rayadurgam Assembly constituency of Anantapur district. Projects coming up at Govindawada are expected to create direct and indirect employment for around 4,000 people, according to the company. 1,325 MW, ₹10,000 crore and around 4,000 jobs are company figures. They are not a commissioned-capacity gazette on this card.

State Education, Information Technology and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh is scheduled to inaugurate Suzlon’s new S144 blade production lines at Huliker village in Kanekal mandal of Rayadurgam constituency on 25 August 2026. That inauguration is live today. It is written here as scheduled at a 06:00 IST scrape. This desk will not print the lines as already opened unless a later desk confirms the ceremony is done.

The company said it currently has more than 1,700 MW of installed wind-power capacity in Andhra Pradesh and has set a target of developing an additional 5,000 MW of renewable-energy projects by 2030. Operations in Anantapur began in 2004. A rotor-blade manufacturing unit operates in the Ippuru area of Kuderu mandal in Uravakonda constituency. Projects have been implemented with companies including Tata Power. More than 1,700 MW is the company’s installed-Andhra figure. An additional 5,000 MW by 2030 is a company target. 2004 is the year operations in the district began, on the same account.

The Anantapur blade-manufacturing facility, the company said, accounts for about 40 per cent of Suzlon’s blade production, with annual production capacity of 1,260 MW. The company has so far attracted ₹12,000 crore in investment in the district and generated employment for around 2,200 young people. About 40 per cent, 1,260 MW, ₹12,000 crore and around 2,200 jobs are company lines about the existing district footprint. They are not the new 1,325 MW Govindawada card. This desk will not add ₹10,000 crore to ₹12,000 crore and call the sum a single notified investment.

The State government and Suzlon are jointly implementing a green-skill programme, the release said, with wind-energy learning centres at Uravakonda and Vijayawada to train 12,000 young professionals, women accounting for 25 per cent of trainees. 12,000 and 25 per cent are release figures. They are not a convocation count.

Spell the geography as the card spells it. Anantapur district. Rayadurgam constituency. Kanekal mandal. Huliker village. Govindawada. Uravakonda. Ippuru in Kuderu mandal. This is not Kurnool district. This desk will not move Huliker, Kanekal or Govindawada across that district line.

What this card is not must be said. It is not a commissioned megawatt count for the new projects. It is not a confirmation, at 06:00 IST, that today’s Huliker inauguration has already happened. It is not a reprint of any Visakhapatnam data-centre government order.

Anantapur district holds Govindawada, Huliker, Kanekal, Rayadurgam, Ippuru, Kuderu and Uravakonda. Vijayawada holds one of the two skill centres. Form B and any poll date are not notified.

Until the S144 lines run and a later desk writes the ceremony as done, the public ledger is a company card of 1,325 MW and an estimated ₹10,000 crore at Govindawada with around 4,000 jobs; a scheduled 25 August inauguration by Nara Lokesh of S144 blade lines at Huliker in Kanekal mandal; more than 1,700 MW already installed in the State on the company’s count; a 5,000 MW additional target by 2030; an Anantapur blade plant said to be about 40 per cent of output at 1,260 MW annual capacity, with ₹12,000 crore of district investment and around 2,200 jobs; and a green-skill programme for 12,000 trainees, 25 per cent of them women, at Uravakonda and Vijayawada. Company figures. Scheduled inauguration. Anantapur district, not Kurnool.
