Suzlon Marches ahead despite troubles.

World's 5th largest wind turbine manufacturer is facing hard times. Its two US customers - M/S Deere and M/S Edison have reportedly cancelled some orders and placed them on GE.
In June 2007, Edison placed an order of 2.1 x 300 MW turbines on Suzlon. Half of the order i.e. for 150 turbines has been cancelled because Edison is is repordtedly not satsfied with the 'root cause analysis' of the rotor blades cracks.
Competetors of Suzlon- Vestas, Nordex ets have got about 50 % increase in the order book, a mark yet to be achieved by it.
The problem with Deere supply was reported to be lower plant availability.
By 2012, Suzlon will cross 14000 MW mark in terms of installed capacity.
