Visakhapatnam, November 12, 2026: ReNew Energy Global Plc (“ReNew” or the “Company”), a leading decarbonisation solutions company, today announced fresh investments of approximately ~INR 80,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh, spanning digital infrastructure and clean energy manufacturing. The investments include an INR 67,000 crore, 1 GW Green Hyperscale Data Centre in Anakapalli; INR 11,000 crore polysilicon and metallurgical silicon manufacturing facilities in Anakapalli and Nellore and an INR 1,500 crore permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Rambilli. ReNew will also establish the ReNew Centre for Technical Excellence (R-CTE) in Visakhapatnam under the PM SETU Scheme.
The
announcements were made at the CII Partnership Summit 2026 in Visakhapatnam,
under the leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri N.
Chandrababu Naidu, and in the presence of Shri Nara Lokesh, Hon’ble Minister
for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications and Human
Resources Development. Together, the investments expand ReNew’s presence across
digital
infrastructure, renewable energy, clean energy manufacturing and skilling, deepening its
long-term partnership with Andhra Pradesh.
The 1 GW Green
Hyperscale Data Centre in Anakapalli is envisioned as a large-scale,
renewable-energy-powered digital infrastructure project. It is expected to
strengthen Andhra Pradesh’s position as an emerging hub for hyperscale digital
infrastructure while supporting the growing energy requirements of India’s
rapidly expanding digital economy.
The polysilicon and
metallurgical silicon facilities in Anakapalli and Nellore will further
strengthen the domestic solar manufacturing value chain. They will complement
ReNew’s existing solar manufacturing investments, including its 6.5 GW ingot
and wafer manufacturing facility in Anakapalli, expected to be commissioned by
March 2028.
ReNew also plans to
invest INR 1,500 crore in a permanent magnet manufacturing facility in
Rambilli, expected to be commissioned by March 2029.
Under the PM SETU
Scheme, ReNew will work with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to develop the
Gajuwaka cluster of five ITIs in Visakhapatnam as the ReNew Centre for
Technical Excellence (R-CTE). The cluster is part of the PM SETU framework,
under which a typical hub-and-spoke ITI cluster has an indicative investment of
up to INR 241 crore over five years. The initiative will focus on
industry-relevant technical skills and employability for emerging sectors
including renewable energy, advanced manufacturing and allied industries.
Commenting
