Reliance accelerates Jamnagar complex, targets 3-mtpa green hydrogen by 2032

• Reliance says its Jamnagar new-energy hub is rising at “record pace,” with a 2026 launch for battery and electrolyser gigafactories and a goal of 3 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2032.

Reliance Industries is putting hard timelines on India’s biggest clean-energy bet. At its AGM, the company said construction at the Dhirubhai Ambani Giga Energy Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, is advancing at “record pace,” anchored by two manufacturing pillars due next year: a battery gigafactory and an electrolyser gigafactory. The plan is to start battery production in 2026 at 40 GWh per year and scale toward 100 GWh, while the electrolyser plant comes online by end-2026 with potential to reach 3 GW of annual capacity.

These factories are the backbone for an even larger ambition: producing 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of green hydrogen by 2032, enough to seed domestic demand and enable exports of derivatives such as green ammonia and e-methanol from western India’s ports. Reliance framed the target as central to lowering India’s fuel imports and building a globally competitive new-energy supply chain at home. 

Jamnagar is designed as an integrated ecosystem that co-locates five giga-factories—covering PV modules, energy storage, green hydrogen (electrolysers), fuel cells and power electronics—so flows of materials, power and data stay on one campus. That integration should help shorten product qualification cycles, cut logistics risk and improve traceability for offtakers seeking domestic content and robust warranties.

For project finance, the milestones matter. Firm start-of-production dates for batteries and electrolysers give lenders and offtakers clearer visibility on delivery, while vertical integration can stabilize costs in a volatile global market for clean-energy hardware. If execution tracks the company’s timeline, Jamnagar shifts from a high-profile announcement into a manufacturing engine feeding India’s utility-scale projects and corporate buyers—and a platform for exporting green fuels at scale.
