Reliance Industries Commissions First Solar Panel Production Line in Gujarat

Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has commissioned its first solar panel production line at its giga-factory in Jamnagar, Gujarat. With an initial annual capacity of 10 GW, the facility is designed for rapid expansion to 20 GW to support India's renewable energy goals. This move aligns with the government’s directive, effective from June 2026, that mandates all renewable projects to use domestically produced solar PV modules.

RIL's ambitious Rs87000 crore investment plan includes the manufacturing of photovoltaic modules, batteries, hydrogen electrolyzers, and fuel cells, with a focus on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2035. The company is also constructing a 30 GWh battery storage plant and a multi-GW electrolyzer facility, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI and Industry 4.0.

This initiative not only strengthens India’s self-reliance in solar technology but also contributes significantly to the nation’s target of achieving 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Reliance is set to play a pivotal role in driving India’s clean energy transition.
