The plant is designed to produce 10 GW annually, with a modular setup that enables rapid expansion to 20 GW if demand increases. It is fully vertically integrated, covering the entire solar production chain, including polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, panels, glass, and polyolefin elastomer (POE). A company representative stated: “Overall, in each [stage] on the entire solar chain, the engineering is complete, the long lead items and procurements are complete and construction is going on in full swing.”
Thanks to its vertical integration, large-scale manufacturing, and advanced production technology, Reliance Industries expects its modules to be more cost-competitive and attractive compared to imported alternatives. This efficiency supports the company’s goal of delivering high-quality, affordable solar solutions to meet growing energy demands.
Beyond solar modules, Reliance Industries is developing 30 GW of battery manufacturing capacity, encompassing cells, packs, and battery storage systems. The solar panels produced in Jamnagar will be transported to Kutch, where the company has secured land for a solar farm. Construction of the solar farm, including a dedicated transmission line from Jamnagar, is underway, with both international and local contractors preparing the site.
Additionally, Reliance Industries is establishing a 2,000-acre green hydrogen ecosystem in Kandla, India, in collaboration with Norway’s Nel ASA to produce electrolyzers. The green hydrogen production will be powered by the company’s solar generation and battery storage systems. A spokesperson noted: “This integrated approach ensures sustainable energy production, leveraging our solar and battery capabilities to drive the green hydrogen ecosystem.”
These initiatives reflect Reliance Industries’ commitment to advancing renewable energy and sustainable manufacturing in India. The Jamnagar facility, combined with the Kutch solar farm and Kandla green hydrogen project, positions the company as a leader in clean energy innovation, contributing to both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
