Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced on August 29 that the company is developing one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects, spread across 5,50,000 acres of arid land in Kutch, Gujarat—three times the size of Singapore. At full capacity, the project will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery storage each day, making it one of the fastest solar installations globally.
Addressing shareholders at RIL’s annual general meeting, Ambani said the site could meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity demand within the next decade. The project will integrate with Reliance’s marine and land infrastructure in Jamnagar and Kandla, supporting large-scale solar and hydrogen production. Initially aimed at meeting Reliance’s own energy needs, the company plans to scale green hydrogen production to 3 million tonnes per annum by 2032.
Ambani also revealed that Reliance’s solar PV manufacturing platform is now operational, delivering its first 200 MW of high-efficiency HJT modules. The platform will scale to 10 GWp soon and later to 20 GWp, making it the world’s most integrated single-site solar manufacturing facility. In parallel, battery and electrolyser giga factories are under development to support green hydrogen production, offering scale, cost efficiency, and supply chain resilience.
