ReNew Energy has announced fresh investments of around INR 80,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh, across 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.
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 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.
The 1 GW Green Hyperscale Data Centre in Anakapalli is envisioned as a large-scale, renewable-energy-powered digital infrastructure project.
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.
ReNew already has an operating portfolio of 717 MW of wind capacity and 60 MW of solar capacity spread over 10 sites in Andhra Pradesh.
ReNew’s clean energy portfolio on a gross basis stood at 20.5 GW (including 1.7 GW/6.2 GWh of BESS) as of October 30, 2026. In addition to being a major independent power producer in India, it has 6.4 GW of solar module and 2.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacities and is expanding its solar cells manufacturing capacity by another 4 GW, which is expected to be operational in Q4 FY27.
