Anant Ambani's Kutch Solar Farm: Reliance Plans 40 Billion Units a Year, 100 GW Clean Power by 2030

Reliance Industries is building a solar and storage hub in Kutch, Gujarat, that covers roughly 2,200 square kilometers, an area larger than London. The company targets 40 billion units of electricity a year from the site, which would cover around 3% of India's electricity demand. Based on the reported output and official grid emission data, the project could avoid about 29 million tonnes of CO2 annually if it displaces grid power. The broader plan includes 100 GW of clean power by 2030 and net zero for Reliance by 2035. Anant Ambani, who leads the clean energy business, is also building solar panel and battery factories in Jamnagar, including a 20 GW panel line and a battery plant that could reach 120 GWh. The article also covers a tree-planting project called Vantara, but its carbon impact is much smaller than the solar side.
