Reliance Industries, the conglomerate led by Mukesh Ambani, has unveiled ambitious investment plans in the clean energy sector, aiming to propel growth and sustainability. With a whopping Rs 1.5 trillion earmarked for new energy and petrochemical expansion, the company is set to allocate significant funds, including Rs 75,000 crore each to solar energy, battery storage, and green hydrogen. One of the key initiatives in the new energy space is Reliance's 1-gigawatt HJT solar module manufacturing facility, with plans to scale up to 10 gigawatts by 2026, boosting earnings substantially and contributing to the company's renewable energy portfolio. By 2029-2031, Reliance foresees that over 50% of its profits will stem from new energy ventures, aligning with its strategic shift towards sustainable practices. The company's focus on solar and battery manufacturing is evident, with a vision to commence large-scale battery production by 2026, specifically targeting LFP technology tailored for utility-scale energy storage. Furthermore, Reliance has secured vast land in Gujarat's Kutch region for solar energy generation, potentially yielding up to 150 billion units of electricity annually. Green hydrogen holds a pivotal role in Reliance's future plans, with a green hydrogen ecosystem in development, including an electrolyser manufacturing plant partnership with Norway's Nel ASA in Kandla. The company is positioning itself for success through scalable and efficient solar manufacturing, with plans to expand from 10 gigawatts to 20 gigawatts if required. Additionally, alongside solar and battery advancements, Reliance is elevating its CBG operations to reduce reliance on traditional fuels and promote cleaner energy solutions. Reliance Industries' strategic investments underscore its commitment to building a sustainable energy ecosystem, poised for the evolving landscape of clean energy.
