Reliance Lifts Jamnagar Battery Gigafactory Target to 120 GWh
At its 2026 AGM, Reliance Industries said phase one of its 40 GWh Jamnagar battery gigafactory will come online this year and that total site capacity will scale to 120 GWh.
Key Takeaways
Reliance Industries confirmed at its 2026 AGM that phase one of its 40 GWh battery gigafactory in Jamnagar will be commissioned this calendar year, with all equipment already delivered.
The company raised total site ambition to 120 GWh per year, which would make the Jamnagar campus among the world's largest lithium iron phosphate (LFP) manufacturing operations.
The Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex spans 5,000 acres and co-locates solar, electrolyser, fuel cell and battery gigafactories, with LFP as the anchor chemistry for stationary storage.
Phase-one output will first supply Reliance's own solar-plus-storage projects and Indian utility BESS customers before exports, positioning Reliance as India's largest cell-and-BESS producer.
Analysts expect the ramp-up, starting in H2 2026, to push down domestic Indian LFP battery prices.
Kaan Tınmaz
Reliance Industries used its 2026 annual general meeting to confirm that phase one of its 40 gigawatt-hour battery and cell gigafactory in Jamnagar will come online this year, and to lift the total ambition of the site to 120 GWh a year. If executed, the campus would rank among the world’s largest lithium iron phosphate manufacturing operations.
40 GWh online in 2026, 120 GWh in sight
Chairman Mukesh Ambani told shareholders on June 20 that all equipment for the first 40 GWh line has been delivered to the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex and that commissioning would follow this calendar year. Reliance plans to triple that footprint to 120 GWh, positioning itself as India’s single largest cell-and-BESS producer and closing the gap on Chinese majors.
An LFP giga bet
The Jamnagar campus is designed as an integrated new energy hub. Reliance is co-locating solar, electrolyser, fuel cell and battery gigafactories on a 5,000-acre site, with LFP as the anchor chemistry for stationary storage. The company said the phase-one line will supply Reliance’s own solar-plus-storage projects and utility BESS customers in India before entering exports.
When will Reliance's Jamnagar battery gigafactory start production?
Phase one, a 40 GWh line, is set to come online in 2026. Chairman Mukesh Ambani said on June 20 that all equipment has been delivered and commissioning will follow this calendar year, with ramp-up expected in H2 2026.
How large will the Jamnagar battery site ultimately be?
Reliance plans to triple capacity from the initial 40 GWh to 120 GWh per year, which would rank the site among the world's largest LFP manufacturing operations and make Reliance India's biggest cell-and-BESS producer.
What battery chemistry will Reliance produce at Jamnagar?
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is the anchor chemistry, targeted primarily at stationary storage applications such as utility-scale BESS.
Who will buy the batteries from the first phase?
Phase-one output will supply Reliance's own solar-plus-storage projects and utility BESS customers in India before the company moves into export markets.
