3 Singapore can fit in Mukesh Ambani’s new solar project site area, which will meet 10% of India’s electricity needs

At its peak, the solar project will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers every day.

New Delhi: Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance is developing one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects spread across 5,50,000 acres of dry land in Kutch, Gujarat. This entire area is three times the size of Singapore. This information was shared on Friday, August 29, by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani.

At its peak, the solar project will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers every day, making it among the fastest installations globally, said Mukesh Ambani.

The site could meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity needs

Addressing the shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting, Ambani said 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.

Production of green ammonia, green methanol, & sustainable aviation fuel

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. The company plans to scale up to 3MTPA (million tonnes per annum) of green hydrogen equivalent production capacity by 2032, while the initial focus will be on meeting Reliance’s own captive demand, said Ambani.

Reliance’s solar PV manufacturing platform is now operational

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.

Reliance is constructing battery and electrolyser giga factories

Reliance is also constructing battery and electrolyser giga factories. The battery giga factory will start functioning 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, battery storage, and hydrogen ecosystem under one roof will provide scale, cost and technology advantages, and supply chain resilience, creating long-term value as the global energy transition gathers pace.
