Reliance Group is making significant strides in India's renewable energy sector through Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power. The group is building an advanced, fully integrated solar manufacturing facility covering ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, designed to meet the projected 55-60 GW annual solar module demand by 2030. Alongside, it is establishing a complete battery manufacturing ecosystem to boost storage capacity from less than 1 GWh today to 250 GWh by 2032. Reliance NU Energies is also facilitating the shift to hybrid and round-the-clock renewable energy.
Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group has announced that its subsidiary, Reliance Infrastructure, is developing one of India's most advanced, fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystems. The facility will cover the complete production chain, including ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, and will incorporate next-generation technology, according to the company's investor presentation.
The manufacturing plant aims to address the growing demand-supply gap in India's solar sector. The country is expected to require 55-60 GW of solar modules annually by 2030, while domestic upstream manufacturing capacity currently falls far short. This vertically integrated platform is designed to reduce import dependence and enhance India's clean energy security.
Reliance Infrastructure is also establishing a complete battery manufacturing ecosystem, which will include cell production, pack assembly, and grid-scale containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The presentation highlighted that India's current installed stationary storage is under 1 GWh but is projected to reach 250 GWh by 2032. Presently, domestic manufacturing meets less than 10% of the anticipated demand.
Additionally, Reliance Power stated that its subsidiary, Reliance NU Energies, is leading the transition from traditional solar to hybrid and round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy solutions, supporting continuous and reliable clean energy supply.
