Reliance Industries Limited has operationalised the initial phase of its clean energy giga complex at Jamnagar, commissioning core manufacturing assets and delivering the first 200 megawatt (MW) peak of heterojunction solar modules. The company said its clean energy segment expanded through multiple specialised manufacturing units within the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex. The facility was presented as a strategic step to scale integrated solar PV manufacturing, energy storage and green energy infrastructure.

The new 720 watt-peak panels secured Bureau of Indian Standards certification and were reported to offer 10 per cent higher energy yield and 25 per cent lower degradation than standard industry parameters. Reliance commenced advanced commissioning of a battery energy storage system giga-factory with an initial annual capacity target of 40 GWh, with civil construction completed and equipment installation progressing to support a production ramp up through the second half of 2026. The company framed the factory as a key element in its clean energy manufacturing capabilities.

Total research and development expenditure across the group rose 11.9 per cent to Rs 46.82 billion (bn), supporting a specialised workforce of over 1,000 scientists, engineers and specialists. The telecom and digital arm, Jio Platforms, increased its intellectual property filings, with approximately 3,476 new patents recorded in the fiscal year. The annual report described these investments as part of a broader push to drive innovation across connectivity, artificial intelligence, cloud and digital services.
