Suzlon Energy in India suffered a drop in share prices to a three-month low after three sessions of continued downward movement. Nevertheless, the negatives on the short run are outweighed by the positives of a robust order book which gives the company a large growth potential in the long run, according to analysts.
Suzlon Energy, a pioneer in the renewable energy sector of India, has had its share prices decrease for the third consecutive time. On Thursday, August 28, the share lost another 2% to ₹55.89, indicating a three-month low. The downtrend has led to a drop of 8% Mer over the month of August and 30% over the past three months, thus repeating the pattern of three-month losses from August 2023.
Short-Term Headwinds Impacting Suzlon Energy Share Price Drop
The fundamentals of Suzlon Energy still remain solid; however, its problems in the short term are affecting the market sentiment negatively very much. These encompass the June-quarter results below expectations, slow work on the project, and the departure of Group CFO Himanshu Mody, who was instrumental in the company’s balance sheet stabilization process.
The delays in execution have compounded the worries with installations that have been going at a slower pace than deliveries for the last few quarters. The company stated that only 1 GW of new orders had been booked for FY26 year-to-date, which was essentially a no-growth signal for the next quarter.

Strategic Shifts to Boost Execution
Suzlon is taking a number of steps to improve the situation. The company is prioritizing projects that are ready for the land and is deepening the pipeline by acquiring land in advance. Management is expecting these steps to reduce the commissioning timelines from FY27 onwards.
Currently, Suzlon Energy is going through a strong order book of 5.7 GW, which is the 10th quarter in a row that has seen the company’s growth, largely due to the demand from the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector as well as from Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Thus, the company has revenue visibility for the next 2–3 years, even in the face of difficulties like delays in power purchase agreements (PPAs) and obstacles in land acquisition.
Suzlon Energy Share Price – Analyst Views
Within the Indian brokerage Geojit Financial Services, Suzlon was moved to A rating from a “hold” rating together with a cut of its target price to ₹75. Their report claims that Suzlon is not fully priced at 27.7x FY27 EPS which is based on the forecast of earnings growth at a 43% CAGR and return on equity (ROE) of 27.1% by FY27.
On the other side, ICICI Securities kept its “buy” rating with a target of ₹76. The decision was mostly based on the solid order inflows and visibility for the next 2–3 years. However, it was also mentioned that the risk of execution delays and margin pressures could depress the near-term performance of the company.
Long-Term Outlook for India’s Wind Energy Sector
Wind energy capacity additions in India are expected to reach 6 GW in FY26 and 7–8 GW in FY27, thus establishing the long runway for growth for Suzlon and other associated companies. The regulatory support from the government, compliance with ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers), and backward integration by Suzlon, are factors that add to its competitiveness.
The management reiterated its FY26 guidance of 60% growth in the areas of deliveries, revenue, and EBITDA, based on strong demand from both domestic and export markets.
Suzlon Energy Share Price Performance
