3 reasons why Suzlon shares are up over 6% today — Explained

Shares of Suzlon Energy Ltd surged over 6% on Friday, driven by a combination of positive developments that have significantly boosted investor sentiment around the renewable energy company. There are three key reasons behind today's strong rally in the stock.
The first major trigger is Suzlon's inclusion in the futures and options (F\&O) segment, effective from Friday, August 1. The introduction of Suzlon shares into the F\&O market has improved the stock's liquidity and opened up new trading opportunities for institutional and retail investors alike. Stocks added to the F\&O segment typically witness enhanced volumes and broader market participation, which often translates into bullish momentum.
The second factor propelling Suzlon's stock upward is the government's recent policy move to strengthen domestic manufacturing in the renewable energy sector. The government has announced an increase in the domestic content requirement for wind turbines, mandating that critical components such as blades, towers, gearboxes, generators, and bearings must now be sourced from manufacturers listed under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). Furthermore, companies in the sector must also ensure their R\&D facilities, data centers, and servers are located within India. This push for local sourcing and cybersecurity enhances the competitive edge of domestic players like Suzlon and its peer Inox Wind, aligning with the government's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
The third and perhaps most notable development is Suzlon's announcement of a significant order win. The company disclosed that it has secured a 381 MW order from Zelestra India and its affiliates, marking Zelestra's entry into the Firm and Dispatch Renewable Energy (FDRE) segment. This large-scale wind energy project will involve the installation of 127 units of Suzlon's advanced S144 wind turbines, each with a 3 MW rated capacity. The turbines will be deployed across three states — Maharashtra (180 MW), Madhya Pradesh (180 MW), and Tamil Nadu (21 MW). The Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh portions are part of SJVN's FDRE bid, while the Tamil Nadu capacity will serve commercial and industrial (C\&I) customers. The order significantly strengthens Suzlon's already robust S144 turbine order book and underscores growing confidence in the company's project execution capabilities.
Together, these three developments — F\&O inclusion, policy tailwinds, and a large order win — have reinforced market optimism around Suzlon and triggered a sharp upward movement in its share price today.
