"We are happy to announce our new order win from The Hero Group. This partnership shows the trust customers have in our project capabilities and help us inch closer to the renewable energy targets set by the government which will secure the energy requirements of the country," gamesa India's chairman and managing director Ramesh Kymal was quoted as saying in the statement.
HFE's managing director Rahul Munjal said: "This is HFE's first self-development project in India. We are encouraged by universal success of the self-development strategy. When combined with turnkey projects, alongside key industry players, this project will provide diversification to our firm.
"Completing this and other such developments in the pipeline, our cumulative installed capacity is likely to be over 500 MW by 2016."
