Mumbai, Sep 2 (UNI) Reliance Industries (RIL) has officially announced the production rollout of its first 200 MW heterojunction technology (HJT) solar modules at the Dhirubhai Ambani Giga Energy Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
RIL commissioned the first production line for its gigawatt-scale solar module manufacturing facility in April 2025, to roll out 720W HJT modules.
The company plans to expand its solar module manufacturing capacity to 10 GW in the coming quarters and then to 20 GW. Its battery and electrolyser giga factories are under construction and are expected to be operational by 2026.
RIL’s battery manufacturing facility will also be operational with an initial production capacity of 40 gigawatt-hours per year (GWh/year) and will eventually be scaled up to 100 GWh.
The company’s electrolyser giga factory is expected to become operational by the end of 2026 and will be commissioned with an initial annual capacity of 3 GW.
According to RIL, the development of its solar project, spanning 550,000 acres of land in Kutch, Gujarat, is progressing at a rapid pace. The company expects to deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery storage every day during its peak deployment stage.
RIL is also building marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar as well as 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 tonnes per annum. The company is also building 55 compressed biogas (CBG) plants and plans to scale it up by more than 500 plants by 2030.
At RIL’s 48th annual general meeting, the company had stated that the HJT solar modules will deliver a 10% higher energy yield, 20% better temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation as compared to conventional modules.
