Kutch, India — Reliance Industries is set to transform the energy landscape with the development of one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects, sprawling across 550,000 acres of land in Gujarat’s Kutch region—three times the size of Singapore.
At the company’s annual general meeting, Chairman Mukesh Ambani revealed that the project has the potential to supply nearly 10% of India’s electricity demand within the next decade. He underscored that the initiative is not just a leap for Reliance but also a defining step for India’s clean energy ambitions.
The project is expected to deploy solar modules at a peak rate of 55 megawatts per day, along with 150 megawatt-hours of battery storage containers daily. This pace would make it one of the fastest solar installations globally. The site is strategically connected to Reliance’s existing marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar and Kandla, enabling seamless integration of large-scale solar power with hydrogen production.
Reliance’s vision for the project extends beyond electricity generation. Ambani confirmed that the company will produce and export green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel. This initiative is designed to establish India as a global hub for cost-competitive green hydrogen and its derivatives. Reliance aims to scale production capacity to 3 million tonnes per annum of green hydrogen equivalents by 2032.
The solar project is already taking shape. Reliance’s solar PV manufacturing platform has commenced operations, producing its first 200 megawatts of heterojunction technology modules. These modules deliver up to 10% higher energy yield, 20% improved temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation rates compared to conventional panels.
The platform will soon expand to a 10-gigawatt-per-year integrated manufacturing capacity, with further plans to scale up to 20 gigawatts. This will make the Kutch complex not only the largest solar manufacturing site in India but also the most integrated single-site solar facility worldwide.
In parallel, Reliance is also developing giga factories for battery and electrolyser production. The battery facility is slated to launch in 2026 with a 40 GWh annual capacity, expandable to 100 GWh. The electrolyser plant, set for late 2026, will begin with a 3 GW annual capacity, enabling efficient, large-scale green hydrogen production.
Ambani emphasized that integrating solar, battery storage, and hydrogen into one cohesive ecosystem creates unmatched advantages in scale, cost efficiency, and supply chain resilience. He noted that this integrated approach will deliver long-term value for Reliance while accelerating the global transition to cleaner, sustainable energy.
