Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has commissioned its first solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing line and is advancing work on battery storage production facilities. The manufacturing facility is located at a 5,000-acre site in Jamnagar, Gujarat, where RIL is establishing giga factories to produce PV modules, batteries, hydrogen electrolysers, and fuel cells.
This development forms part of a $10 billion renewable energy, storage, and hydrogen plan announced in 2021, aimed at achieving the company’s net zero emissions goal by 2035. The initial manufacturing capacity has reportedly been set at 10 GW per annum, with further expansion capabilities to 20 GW. Additionally, the company is also focusing on developing 30 GWh of battery manufacturing, with an initial modular capacity of 20 GWh.
In January 2025, RIL acquired a 100 per cent equity stake in Lakadia B power transmission project from REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited for Rs 80 million to establish an interstate transmission system for evacuating up to 3.5 GW of renewable energy from Lakadia, Gujarat.
