ReNew Energy has announced plans to invest around INR 80,000 crore ($8.9 billion) in digital infrastructure and clean energy manufacturing projects in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The proposed investments include an INR 67,000 crore, 1 GW green hyperscale data center in Anakapalli; INR 11,000 crore in polysilicon and metallurgical silicon manufacturing facilities in Anakapalli and Nellore; and an INR 1,500 crore permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Rambilli.
The company also plans to establish the ReNew Centre for Technical Excellence (R-CTE) in Visakhapatnam under the Indian government’s PM SETU scheme.
The polysilicon and metallurgical silicon facilities will strengthen India’s domestic solar manufacturing supply chain. They will complement ReNew’s existing investments in solar manufacturing, including a 6.5 GW ingot and wafer production facility in Anakapalli, which is expected to be commissioned by March 2028.
The proposed 1 GW hyperscale data center in Anakapalli will be powered by renewable energy, expanding ReNew’s presence in digital infrastructure.
ReNew also plans to invest INR 1,500 crore in a permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Rambilli, with commissioning scheduled for March 2029.
As part of its workforce development initiatives, ReNew will collaborate with the Andhra Pradesh government to develop a cluster of five industrial training institutes (ITIs) in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam, into the ReNew Centre for Technical Excellence.
The initiative falls under the PM SETU framework, which provides for indicative investments of up to INR 241 crore over five years for a typical hub-and-spoke ITI cluster. The center will focus on developing industry-relevant technical skills and improving employability in renewable energy, advanced manufacturing and related sectors.
ReNew currently operates 717 MW of wind and 60 MW of solar capacity across 10 sites in Andhra Pradesh.
As of Oct. 30, 2026, the company’s gross clean energy portfolio stood at 20.5 GW, including 1.7 GW/6.2 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS).
ReNew also has 6.4 GW of solar module and 2.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity. It is adding another 4 GW of solar cell production capacity, which is expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027.
