Reliance Industries Limited(RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Friday (August 29) said the company is developing one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects spanning 5,50,000 acres of arid land – three times the size of
At peak, the project will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers every day, making it among the fastest installations globally, he said.
RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani told shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting that the site could meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity needs within the next decade. The project will connect seamlessly with Reliance’s marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar and Kandla, enabling large-scale solar and hydrogen integration.

Ambani said the company will produce and export green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel, positioning India as a global hub for cost-competitive green hydrogen and its derivatives. While the initial focus will be on meeting Reliance’s own captive demand, the company plans to scale up to 3MTPA (million tonnes per annum) of green hydrogen equivalent production capacity by 2032.
Ambani also announced that Reliance’s solar PV manufacturing platform has become operational, producing its first 200 MW of heterojunction technology (HJT) modules. These deliver 10% higher energy yield, 20% better temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation.
The platform will expand to 10 GWp per annum of integrated solar PV manufacturing capacity in the coming quarters and further to 20 GWp, making it the largest solar manufacturing facility and the most integrated single-site solar complex globally.

In parallel, Reliance is constructing battery and electrolyser giga factories. The battery giga factory will begin operations in 2026 with 40 GWh annual capacity, expandable to 100 GWh, while the electrolyser giga factory will start by end-2026 with a capacity of up to 3GW per year, enabling large-scale, cost-competitive green hydrogen production.
Ambani said the integrated solar,
