Reliance Industries aims for 100 GW Clean Energy by 2030

Reliance Industries, a diversified conglomerate, has announced its ambitious goal of establishing 100 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030, aiming to make a substantial contribution to sustainability.

During the 2023 Annual General Meeting of the company, Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman and Managing Director, emphasised Reliance's commitment to shifting a significant portion of its energy consumption in connectivity and digital services to renewable energy sources over the next five years.

Ambani restated the company's determination to achieve Net Carbon Zero by 2035, leveraging renewable energy and bioenergy solutions.

The company's primary focus is on creating a comprehensive, vertically integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing ecosystem. Through its planned gigafactory, the company aims to provide flexibility and competitive pricing while transforming raw materials into solar photovoltaic modules.

The operations of the solar gigafactory will cover the entire production process of PV modules, cells, wafers, ingots, polysilicon, and glass, all consolidated at a single location in Jamnagar. The phased rollout of the factory is targeted for completion by the conclusion of 2025.

Employing heterojunction technology, the facility will produce solar PV cells and modules, catering to both large-scale utility and rooftop power generation.

Reliance also intends to venture into wind power generation. Substantial progress has been made in developing a manufacturing ecosystem essential for cost-effective, large-scale wind power generation.

Ambani highlighted the significance of carbon fibre in wind blade manufacturing costs. The company's foray into extensive carbon fibre production is anticipated to provide a competitive advantage, enabling deeper integration and reduced expenses in wind turbine manufacturing.

Furthermore, Ambani revealed plans for a battery gigafactory by 2026, encompassing the production of battery chemicals, cells, packs, and extending to containerised energy storage solutions.

Reliance has outlined a comprehensive strategy for electrolyser and green hydrogen production as well.

Rs 1 Tn National Highway Projects Delayed: Care Ratings

Over half of the 374 road projects awarded by the national highways authority, with a total construction cost of Rs 1 trillion, have experienced delays exceeding six months as of December 2024. The extent of time overruns has risen significantly, from 33 per cent in June 2023 to 55 per cent by the end of 2024, indicating worsening project execution timelines. All these projects are being implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), which remains the dominant approach in national highway development, accounting for 55 per cent of all projects. These contracts, awarded between 2015 and 202..

India Plans 1,450 Km of Asphalt Roads Along the Indo-Pak Border

A large-scale road construction project is set to enhance border security, with 1,096 km of roads planned in Rajasthan and 354 km in Punjab. The initiative is expected to commence within a month, improving patrolling efficiency for the Border Security Force (BSF). Currently, BSF personnel face significant challenges in monitoring the border due to shifting sand dunes and rough terrain. The development of these roads will facilitate smoother movement both on foot and in vehicles, such as jeeps and gypsies. Improved vehicular access will also help reduce response time between border outposts, s..
