It depends on Cummins as the supplier of engines and alternators for the DG sets and on Hyundai for the MSLG sets.

IPP operations reliance on OEMs: The IPP business of the company relies on key relationships with OEMs to facilitate supply of components and effective O&M services across most of its Operational Wind Power projects. Its key Wind Turbine Generators(WTG) suppliers are Vestas Wind Technology India Private Ltd and GE Renewable R&D India Private Ltd.

Mismatch between tenure of PPA and Land Lease: Some of the land lease agreements for the company's wind power projects have shorter terms than the corresponding PPA of the respective projects. The expiry and non-renewal of such land lease agreements prior to the end of the relevant PPA could potentially result in the premature termination of the corresponding PPA. Growth Strategies.
