Suzlon looks to buy all of REpower
MUMBAI, INDIA - Indian wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy is in talks to buy the remaining nine percent stake in German unit REpower Systems AG, its chief financial officer said.
"We are working toward it," Robin Banerjee said at the Reuters India Investment Summit in Mumbai, adding that Suzlon had no plans to sell a stake in REpower.
Media had earlier said that Suzlon might sell up to 25 percent in REpower for $500 million.
Suzlon Energy, which holds 91 percent of REpower, is the world's third-largest wind turbine maker behind Denmark's Vestas and Spain's Gamesa.
Banerjee said Suzlon would like to grow its revenue from China by 40 to 50 percent, driven by strong demand for renewable energy.
