Reliance Industries’ (RIL) green energy ambitions gathered pace in FY26 as the company operationalised the first phase of its sprawling Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar and delivered the first batch of high-efficiency solar modules from the facility.
In its FY26 annual report, RIL described the year as a “landmark” for its New Energy business, with core manufacturing assets commissioned and multiple clean energy projects moving towards commercial scale operations.
Reliance said it has delivered the first 200 MWp of HJT (Heterojunction Technology) solar modules from the facility. The company claimed the modules offer 10 per cent higher energy yield and 25 per cent lower degradation compared with prevailing industry standards, with 720 Wp BIS-certified panels. The company is targeting 10 GWp annual manufacturing capacity initially, with plans to scale up to 20 GWp.
The company also said its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) giga-factory is in advanced stages of commissioning. Reliance plans to operationalise 40 GWh annual capacity initially, with a roadmap to scale up to 100 GWh. Production is expected to ramp up in the second half of calendar 2026.
In green hydrogen, Reliance has begun work on its electrolyser giga-factory after securing exclusive alkaline electrolyser technology licensing rights from Norway-based Nel ASA for India. The company aims to build 3 million metric tonnes per annum of green hydrogen equivalent capacity by 2032.
Separately, Reliance is developing a massive renewable energy hub in Kutch across 550,000 acres, which it said could eventually meet nearly one-tenth of India’s electricity demand within a decade. The company reiterated its ₹75,000 crore commitment toward clean energy investments.
The Jamnagar complex, spread across 5,000 acres with 44 million square feet of manufacturing and operational space, is being positioned as one of the world’s largest integrated clean energy ecosystems outside China.
