Coming from modest beginnings, the pioneer of India’s wind energy sector had managed weather both fair and foul. His untimely demise may have cut short his life, but not his story, which is up there.

Wind turbine maker Suzlon Group today said that it has achieved 10,000 megawatt (MW) cumulative wind energy installations in India.
Wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy plans to add to 1,500 megawatt of power capacity. Out of this 1,500 megawatt, 500 megawatt will be wind and solar, the hybrid solution.
"India is a very promising and demanding market. It is set to grow by 30 percent annually. In 2016-17, the country will add about 4,300 MW of wind power," Tanti told reporters here.
The founder of India's leading wind turbine maker said there is some reluctance from banks to finance projects as there are fears that lower tariffs can lead to payment delays.
The development came during a meeting between Telangana Panchayat Raj and IT Minister K T Rama Rao and Sulzon CMD Tulsi Tanti in Mumbai, a state government release stated here.
Tanti forecasts a growth of 30% for the Indian wind sector, but he says Suzlon is going to do better than that.
