There are reports that Suzlon does not have access to RePower's technology because of certain laws in Germany.
As far as I am concerned, I have bought the company and the technology comes along with it. People don't seem to understand this.
Do you believe a section of the media is targeting you because an Indian company has been successful?
Well, there has been speculation in the media by one newspaper, but I wouldn't say we're being targeted by anyone.
Are you growing too fast for your own good?
The demand is huge because oil prices are soaring. China alone plans to have an installed capacity of 1,00,000 mw -- the entire world today has a capacity of 95,000 mw.
We have to grow fast to cater to this demand. Last year we captured a 3 per cent market share and we intend to add another 3 per cent this year. Today we are in 20 countries, we plan to be in another 20 countries in the next five years.
We hope to grow at twice the industry rate of 20-25 per cent.
