Reliance Group to Build End-to-End Solar and Battery Manufacturing Hub

Reliance Infrastructure, part of the Anil Ambani–led Reliance Group, announced on Monday the launch of a fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem designed to cover the entire value chain — from ingots and wafers to cells and modules.

The facility aims to leverage next‑generation technology and address the widening demand‑supply gap in India’s solar market. Analysts expect demand to hit 55–60 GW of solar modules per year by 2030, while upstream capacity remains far behind.

According to the company’s investor presentation, this vertically integrated platform will significantly reduce India’s dependence on imports and reinforce the country’s clean energy security.

The plan also extends to building a full‑scale battery manufacturing ecosystem, covering cell production, pack assembly, and grid-scale containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Today, India’s installed stationary storage capacity stands at less than 1 GWh. The company forecasts that this figure will soar to around 250 GWh by 2032 — a massive scale‑up intended to support growing renewable energy uptake. Domestic manufacturing presently meets under 10 percent of total expected demand, underscoring the urgency of scaling up local capabilities.

In parallel, another arm of the group — Reliance Power — shared that its unit, Reliance NU Energies, is enabling the shift from plain‑vanilla solar generation toward hybrid and round‑the‑clock renewable energy. This move aims to deliver firm, continuous power supply rather than intermittent solar energy alone.

By establishing a comprehensive manufacturing backbone for both solar modules and energy storage, Reliance Infrastructure is positioning itself as a key driver of India’s clean energy transition — enabling long-term scalability, energy security, and reduced reliance on imports.
