Reliance Industries will commission the first phase of its 40 gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery and cell gigafactory this year and plans to triple the capacity to 120 GWh annually, Director Anant Ambani said at the company's 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

"The first phase of our 40 gigawatt hour annual battery and cell giga factory is on track to be commissioned this year," Anant Ambani said.

He added that all the equipment required for the facility has already been delivered to the site.
