In a landmark move for India’s clean energy sector, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has announced a strategic partnership with Tesla Energy to develop and deploy advanced renewable battery storage systems across the country.
The collaboration aims to strengthen India’s transition to sustainable energy solutions, supporting large-scale solar and wind projects under the government’s National Green Energy Mission.
According to company officials, the partnership will focus on building lithium-ion and solid-state battery manufacturing units within India, enabling both energy storage and grid stability for industrial and commercial users.
“Our collaboration with Tesla Energy represents a decisive step toward a cleaner, more self-reliant energy future for India,” said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries. “Together, we will accelerate the adoption of renewable power backed by world-class storage technology.”
Industry experts say the joint venture could help India reduce dependence on imported battery components and set up a global-scale gigafactory by 2027. The move aligns with the government’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, aimed at promoting indigenous manufacturing and cutting carbon emissions.
Tesla Energy’s advanced Powerpack and Megapack systems are expected to be integrated with Reliance’s existing renewable infrastructure, including solar parks, hydrogen plants, and wind energy farms under Reliance New Energy Limited (RNEL).
The deal also signals Tesla’s deeper entry into the Indian market beyond electric vehicles, after years of negotiation over import duties and local production norms.
