Reliance Industries (RIL) has announced the production of its first 200 MW heterojunction technology (HJT) solar modules at the Dhirubhai Ambani Giga Energy Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

In April 2025, RIL commissioned the first production line for its gigawatt-scale solar module manufacturing facility in Gujarat. The facility will produce 720 W HJT modules.

The Dhirubhai Ambani Energy Complex comprises a solar module manufacturing facility and a battery and electrolyzer manufacturing sector.

At RIL’s 48th annual general meeting, the company stated that the HJT modules will deliver a 10% higher energy yield, 20% better temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation compared to conventional modules.

RIL plans to expand its solar manufacturing capacity to 10 GW in the coming quarters and then to 20 GW.

Its battery and electrolyzer giga factories are under construction and are expected to be operational by 2026. RIL’s battery manufacturing facility will be operational with an initial production capacity of 40 GWh/year and will eventually be scaled up to 100 GWh.

The electrolyzer giga factory is expected to become operational by the end of 2026 and will be commissioned with an initial annual capacity of 3 GW.

Progress of Kutch Solar Project

According to RIL, the development of its solar project, spanning 550,000 acres in Kutch, is progressing at a rapid pace. It expects to deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery storage every day during its peak deployment stage.

The company is also building marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar and Kandla to integrate seamlessly with its solar and hydrogen projects in Kutch.

It plans to produce and export green ammonia, methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel.

By 2032, RIL aims to achieve a green hydrogen production capacity of three million tons per annum. It is also building 55 compressed biogas (CBG) plants and plans to scale by over 500 plants by 2030.

By combining CBG and solar modules on the same land, the company aims to increase the efficiency of its agrivoltaics business.

In August 2024, RIL announced that it would produce solar photovoltaic modules at its giga-factory in Gujarat by the end of 2024. The first phase of its integrated solar production facilities encompasses modules, cells, glass, wafers, ingots, and polysilicon, with an annual capacity of 10 GW.
