Reliance Industries is poised to begin production at its first solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing facility in Jamnagar, Gujarat, marking a pivotal moment in India’s clean energy transition.
The move is part of Reliance’s broader commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2035. The Jamnagar facility will be a fully integrated manufacturing unit, covering the entire value chain—from polysilicon to ingots, wafers, cells, glass, and final modules. The first phase targets a production capacity of 10 gigawatts (GW) annually, with plans to double the output to 20 GW in later phases. This project significantly advances India’s self-reliance in renewable energy components, especially as the country prepares to enforce its mandate from June 2026, requiring all clean energy projects to use domestically manufactured solar PV modules.
In parallel, Reliance is also investing in battery and micro power electronics manufacturing units, expected to become operational next year. These efforts reflect the company’s strategic realignment toward green technology and low-emission infrastructure. The solar initiative is part of India’s national objective of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030, in line with its climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
By investing heavily in solar manufacturing and energy storage technologies, Reliance is positioning itself as a key player in India’s renewable energy ecosystem, while supporting national targets for sustainability and energy security.
