Reliance to build world’s largest energy ecosystem at Jamnagar
Author: PPD Team Date: September 1, 2025
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) announced that its New Energy business is advancing with the construction of the Dhirubhai Ambani Giga Energy Complex in Jamnagar. The project is planned as the world’s largest integrated ecosystem for solar, batteries, and green fuels.
Executive Director Anant Ambani told shareholders at the company’s 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) that the ecosystem would cover the entire value chain from raw materials to renewable electricity and green molecules.
The Jamnagar complex is under rapid construction. It involves over 5 million engineering manhours, 44 million square feet of building space, 7 lakh tonnes of steel, and 1 lakh kilometres of cable. Products from the site will provide round-the-clock renewable power and produce fuels such as green ammonia, e-methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel.
Reliance has started manufacturing heterojunction technology (HJT) solar modules with an initial capacity of 200 MW. The platform will expand to 20 GWp, creating what the company says will be the world’s largest single-site solar manufacturing facility.
A battery giga factory is planned to begin operations in 2026, scaling from 40 GWh to 100 GWh annually. An electrolyser giga factory, also scheduled for 2026, is expected to reach 3 GW capacity to support green hydrogen production at competitive costs.
In addition, Reliance is developing a solar project across 5,50,000 acres in Kutch, Gujarat, designed to meet about 10 percent of India’s electricity demand within the next decade. The company is also targeting 3 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen equivalent production capacity by 2032, with plans to export green ammonia, methanol, and aviation fuel.
Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani said the New Energy business would become a growth engine for Reliance, with Jamnagar serving as the site for both the world’s largest conventional energy hub and the largest new energy complex.
