Reliance Starts Commercial New Energy Rollout From Jamnagar Giga Complex

Commercial delivery of high‑efficiency HJT solar modules signals a push to build large‑scale clean manufacturing and cut India’s fuel import dependence.

Overview

  • Reliance delivered the first 200 MWp batch of 720 Wp heterojunction (HJT) solar modules from its 5,000‑acre Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex, a step the company reported in its late‑May filings.
  • The company says the new HJT panels show roughly 10% higher energy yield and about 25% lower degradation versus common industry benchmarks and plans to scale module output to 10 GWp a year with a roadmap to 20 GWp.
  • Reliance’s battery energy storage system giga‑factory is in advanced commissioning and is expected to operationalise 40 GWh of annual LFP battery capacity, with production set to ramp through the second half of 2026.
  • Work has begun on an electrolyser giga‑factory after Reliance secured exclusive India licensing from Nel ASA, and the firm is targeting 3 million tonnes per year of green‑hydrogen equivalent by 2032 together with a long‑term green ammonia offtake from Samsung C&T starting in H2 FY2029.
  • The group has committed about Rs 75,000 crore to the New Energy platform, is expanding a 550,000‑acre Kutch renewable hub and scaling compressed biogas to 1,100 tpd by end FY2026‑27, outcomes the company says could create over 200,000 green jobs and lower import exposure while reshaping India’s clean‑energy supply chain.
