Country’s largest wind turbine supplier, Suzlon Energy is all set to raise $650 million through issue of dollar-denominated bonds in overseas markets. The company will use the raised fund to prepay its forex debts. The bond sale is a part of the debt restructuring package announced on January 24 by beleaguered Suzlon Energy.
