“As an investor, we have helped support Ambri’s work to produce and scale a superior and reliable energy storage solution because we believe in the company and its technology. One of our goals in investing in Ambri was that someday we would have the opportunity to harness Ambri’s technology to help us achieve our goals to deliver cost competitive round-the-clock power,” said Mr. Sanjay Mashruwala, Director, Reliance New Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited. “This memorandum of understanding paves the way for us to engage in discussions for testing and installation of Ambri’s demo installation at Jamnagar, India and further progress our joint development work to set up large scale manufacturing of Ambri systems in India.”

The MOU announced today is the first step in advancing Ambri and Reliance’s strategic partnership. The system will ship by mid-2023 and is set for commissioning immediately thereafter.
