Visakhapatnam, Nov 12 (PTI) ReNew Energy Global Plc on Thursday said it will make a fresh investment of Rs 80,000 crore in various projects in Andhra Pradesh across green data centres and solar manufacturing.
The investment includes Rs 67,000 crore for a 1 GW Green Hyperscale Data Centre in Anakapalli; Rs 11,000 crore for polysilicon and metallurgical silicon manufacturing facilities in Anakapalli and Nellore; and Rs 1,500 crore for a permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Rambilli, a company statement said.
According to the statement, ReNew Energy Global Plc (ReNew), a leading decarbonisation solutions company, announced fresh investments of approximately Rs 80,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh, spanning digital infrastructure and clean energy manufacturing.
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 Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, and in the presence of Nara Lokesh, 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 Rs 1,500 crore in a permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Rambilli, likely to be operational by March 2029.
Under the PM SETU Scheme, ReNew will work with the Andhra Pradesh government 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 Rs 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.
Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairman and CEO, ReNew, said, "Andhra Pradesh is emerging as an important destination for India’s industrial and digital growth, and ReNew is proud to deepen its partnership with the state. These investments bring together two of India’s biggest growth opportunities, digitalisation and decarbonisation, while strengthening clean energy manufacturing, infrastructure and skills".
ReNew already has an operating portfolio of 717 MW of operational wind capacity and 60 MW of solar capacity spread over 10 sites in Andhra Pradesh, generating 10,000 direct and indirect jobs as it works in tandem with the Andhra Pradesh government towards the state’s target of generating 78.5 GW of solar, 35 GW of wind power capacity, and 25 GWh of battery energy storage.
