Solar Showdown in Gujarat: Reliance Takes on Adani in Kutch’s Clean Energy Race

India’s clean energy landscape is heating up as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) prepares to commence solar power generation from its Kutch-based renewable energy project in the first half of FY27. The move positions Reliance as a formidable challenger to Adani Group’s dominance in the region, particularly at the sprawling Khavda Renewable Energy Park.

Key Highlights from the Solar Power Push:

Reliance’s Entry into Solar Generation

RIL will begin solar power generation from its 550,000-acre project in Kutch, marking a major milestone in its green energy roadmap.

The project is part of the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex, aimed at integrating solar, wind, and hydrogen technologies.

Adani’s Established Lead

Adani Green Energy already operates 5.6 GW of capacity at Khavda, with plans to scale up to 30 GW by 2029, making it the world’s largest hybrid renewable energy park.

Reliance’s entry intensifies competition in Gujarat’s arid heartland, known for high solar radiation.

Strategic Vision and Net-Zero Goals

Reliance aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2035, with solar energy playing a central role.

The Kutch project will also support green hydrogen production, battery storage, and cleantech manufacturing.

Economic and Environmental Impact

The initiative is expected to generate thousands of jobs, boost local infrastructure, and reduce India’s reliance on fossil fuels.

It aligns with national goals under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and Renewable Energy Expansion Plan.

Investor and Industry Buzz

Analysts view Reliance’s move as a long-term strategic play, with potential to reshape India’s energy mix.

The rivalry with Adani is seen as healthy competition, driving innovation and scale in the sector.

As Reliance switches on its solar ambitions in Kutch, India’s clean energy future looks brighter—and more competitive—than ever.
