During the 48th Annual General Meeting of Reliance Industries Limited, Anant Ambani, Director of Reliance New Energy Limited, today outlined the company’s new energy projects being carried out in Jamnagar and Kutch, which are set to make these locations hubs of clean energy.

Addressing the shareholders, Anant said, “At Jamnagar, work on the Dhirubhai Ambani Giga Energy Complex is progressing at record pace. It will be unmatched globally in size, scale, and integration. Here is the first glimpse of construction on this site: 5 million manhours of engineering, 44 million square feet of building area – four times the Tesla Gigafactory, 3.4 million cubic meters of concrete, 7 lakh tonnes of steel – equal to 100 Eiffel Towers,  1 lakh kilometres of cable – enough to reach the moon and back and Over 50,000 workers at peak, supported by extensive construction automation”

“Jamnagar will be the cradle of both the world’s largest conventional energy complex and the world’s largest energy complex. Jamnagar is the face of new Reliance and new India,” he added.

About Kutch, Ambani added that Reliance is developing one of the world’s largest single-site solar projects, spanning 5,50,000 acres of arid land – three times the size of Singapore. “At peak, we will deploy 55 MW of solar modules and 150 MWh of battery containers every day. This will be among the fastest installations globally. This single site could meet nearly 10% of India’s electricity needs within the next decade,” he said.

“Our marine and land infrastructure at Jamnagar and Kandla will connect seamlessly with solar and hydrogen at Kutch. We will produce and export green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel. This will make India a global hub for cost-competitive green hydrogen and its derivatives,” Anant further said.

He also stated, “We are rapidly constructing our battery and electrolyser gigafactories. Our battery gigafactory will start in 2026, beginning with 40 GWh per year capacity and expanding modularly to 100 GWh per year. Our electrolyser gigafactory will also be operational by the end of 2026, with the ability to scale up to 3 GW per year. It will enable cost-competitive green hydrogen production at a global scale, backed by exclusive global technology partnerships and strengthened by our in-house capabilities. Together, these platforms create a multi-pronged, gigawatt-scale clean energy ecosystem – Solar, Battery Storage, Hydrogen – all under one roof.”

This was the 48th Annual General Meeting of Reliance Industries, during which Mukesh Ambani announced the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary called Reliance Intelligence, along with the announcement of the Jio IPO. DeshGujarat
