Reliance Industries: integrated renewable ammonia development in India

Future plans unveiled at 2025 AGM
Click to learn more. Reliance is targeting the production of 3 million tons per year of “renewable hydrogen equivalent” production by 2032.
Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani unveiled his organisation’s future, renewable-based plans at the recent AGM in Mumbai. Reliance Industries intends to build a mega-scale, single-site, integrated solar project that will feature commercial scale development of solar modules, battery & electrolyser giga factories, plus renewable hydrogen. The project will be situated in Kutch, Gujarat and will sit on 550,000 acres of arid land. It will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers daily at peak capacity.
Scaling solar, electrolyser manufacturing
Building towards that goal, the company has reported it has successfully produced its first 200 MW of heterojunction (HJT) modules which will “deliver 10% higher energy yield, 20% better temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation”. It has set a target to scale to 10 GWp per year of integrated solar PV manufacturing capacity in “the coming quarters” and thereafter to 20 GWp capacity. According to Reliance, “this will be the largest solar manufacturing facility, and the most integrated single-site solar complex globally.”
Reliance is also constructing battery and electrolyser giga factories. The target for the battery giga factory is 40 GWh annually starting in 2026, with plans for modular expansion to 100 GWh annually. Also expected to become operational by end-2026, the electrolyser giga factory will have potential to scale to 3 GW annually, enabling large scale, cost-competitive renewable hydrogen production. The site could generate enough capacity to “meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity needs within the next decade”. In May 2024, Reliance reached a technology licensing agreement with Nel ASA to produce alkaline electrolysers in India based on the latter’s technology.
3 million tons per year production by 2032
Through these projects, Reliance aims to become a “major producer and exporter” of hydrogen and derivatives including renewable ammonia, green methanol and sustainable aviation fuels. It is aiming to have 3 million tons per year of “renewable hydrogen equivalent production” up-and-running by 2032.
