en.Wedoany.com Reported - Reliance Industries has increased its planned battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity to 100 GWh, accelerating the construction of a clean energy ecosystem encompassing energy storage, solar manufacturing, renewable energy generation, green hydrogen, and green ammonia.

During the Q4 FY2026 earnings call, Karan Suri, Senior Vice President of New Energy, stated that equipment orders for the battery facility have been placed and construction is progressing rapidly. Suri noted that this expansion will make Reliance "one of the largest non-Chinese lithium iron phosphate (LFP) manufacturers globally." The first phase of the project includes 40 GWh of battery cell and BESS manufacturing capacity, expected to be gradually commissioned within the year. For context, India is projected to require 61 GW/218 GWh of energy storage by 2030 and 97 GW/362 GWh by 2032 to ensure grid reliability.

Beyond energy storage, Reliance's solar manufacturing plans continue to advance. The company has commissioned multiple solar module and solar cell production lines, and obtained ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) certification for modules and cells. Management stated that this is the first time a domestic heterojunction (HJT) product has received this certification. Reliance reaffirmed progress on its fully integrated solar manufacturing chain, covering polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, modules, and solar glass, with the goal of expanding solar manufacturing capacity to 20 GW of fully integrated capacity, making it one of the world's largest integrated solar manufacturers. Commissioning of these facilities is underway, with the aim of bringing the integrated manufacturing ecosystem online in the coming quarters.

In renewable energy generation, development of Reliance's large energy hub in Kutch, Gujarat, is progressing rapidly. The company is developing a 530,000-acre round-the-clock renewable energy generation complex, with detailed engineering underway for 12 project plots. Transmission infrastructure is also being laid, with EPC contracts awarded for the Kutch-Lakadia transmission corridor and the dedicated Kutch-Jamnagar 765 kV transmission line.

This renewable energy complex is expected to underpin Reliance's green hydrogen and green ammonia ambitions. In Jamnagar, engineering, manufacturing, and modularization work is underway for a green chemicals complex that will house large-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia production facilities.

In a major commercial development, Reliance announced the signing of a green ammonia supply agreement with Samsung C&T, described as "potentially the world's largest." Management stated that the agreement reflects growing global buyer confidence in Reliance's integrated renewable energy and green chemicals platform. The company is in advanced discussions with potential offtakers in Japan, South Korea, and Europe, signaling the possibility of more supply agreements in the coming quarters.
