Tanti was in Ahmedabad, attending a chain of meetings on the company’s <a href="https://mercomindia.com/suzlon-raise-%e2%82%b912-billion-through-rights-issue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ongoing</a> ₹12 billion ($146.68 million) rights issue, and suffered from a cardiac arrest on his way back from the airport in Pune.</p>
