10. Suzlon-RePower: $1.7 billion

Wind power major Suzlon Energy in May 2007 acquired the German wind turbine manufacturer REpower for $1.7 billion. The deal now ranks as the country's 10th largest corporate takeover.

REpower is one of Germany's leading manufacturers of wind turbines, with a 10-per cent share of the overall market.

Suzlon is now the largest wind turbine maker in Asia and the fifth largest in the world.
