Mumbai, March 5 Reliance Wind Energy, an arm of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's energy business, is setting up a 150 MW wind power project at Sangli in Maharashtra.

The company has placed a Rs 900-crore order with Suzlon Energy, the leading wind power company, for setting up the project, an ADAG group spokesperson said.
