Reliance to develop one of the world’s largest solar projects, spanning 550,000 acres of land in Gujarat; 3X the size of Singapore.

Leading Indian conglomerate Reliance is developing one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects spanning 5,50,000 acres of land which is three times the size of Singapore, in Kutch, Gujarat, as declared by Chairman Mukesh Ambani.

At the company’s annual general meeting, Ambani shared with the shareholders that the site could meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity needs within the next decade.

“At peak, the project will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers every day, making it among the fastest installations globally.” Ambani mentioned in the meeting.

“The project will connect seamlessly with Reliance’s marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar and Kandla, enabling large-scale solar and hydrogen integration," Ambani further added.

The Vision of the Reliance Solar Project

Ambani further added that Reliance will produce and export green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel, positioning India as a global hub for cost-competitive green hydrogen along with its derivatives. 

While the initial focus will be on meeting Reliance’s own captive demand, the company plans to scale up to 3MTPA (million tonnes per annum) of green hydrogen equivalent production capacity by 2032.

The Current Status of the Solar Project

Ambani has declared that the company’s solar PV manufacturing platform has become operational, producing its first 200 MW of heterojunction technology (HJT) modules.

These deliver 10% higher energy yield, 20% better temperature performance, and 25% lower degradation.

The platform will expand to 10 GWp per year of integrated solar PV manufacturing capacity in the coming quarters and further to 20 GWp, making it the largest solar manufacturing facility and the most integrated single-site solar complex all across the globe.

The way ahead

Alongside this, Reliance is also establishing battery and electrolyser giga factories.

The battery giga factory will start operating in 2026 with 40 GWh annual capacity, expandable to 100 GWh, while the electrolyser giga factory will begin by the end of 2026, with a capacity of up to 3GW per year, enabling large-scale, cost-competitive green hydrogen production.

Ambani stated that bringing together solar, battery storage, and hydrogen into a single integrated ecosystem will yield advantages in scale, cost efficiency, and technology, while strengthening supply chain resilience simultaneously. This approach, he added, will generate long-term value as the global shift toward cleaner energy accelerates.
