Reliance to Build India's Largest AI-Ready Data Centre in Gujarat
The announcement was made during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences for the Kutch and Saurashtra regions on January 11.
Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has announced plans to invest ₹7 lakh crore in Gujarat over the next five years, doubling the ₹3.5 lakh crore the group has invested in the state since 2021. The announcement was made during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences for the Kutch and Saurashtra regions on January 11.
As part of the expanded investment, Reliance will scale up its upcoming AI data centre in Jamnagar and develop an AI language platform aimed at improving access to and productivity of artificial intelligence services. According to reports, the facility is being positioned as India’s largest AI-ready data centre.
“In Jamnagar, we are building India’s largest AI-ready data centre with a single goal: affordable AI for every Indian. Jio will launch a people-first intelligence platform built in India for India and the world, enabling every citizen, starting from Gujarat, to access AI services in their own language on their own device every day, making them more efficient and productive,” Ambani said.
He added that Reliance has already invested more than ₹3.5 lakh crore in Gujarat over the past five years and plans to match that scale of investment again in the coming five-year period.
The announcement comes amid heightened investment activity at the Vibrant Gujarat event, where more than 1,500 memoranda of understanding were expected to be signed over two days.
The conference also drew over 110 international buyers from 16 countries, including the United States and several European nations, highlighting Gujarat’s growing role as a global investment destination.
Last year, Reliance announced a strategic joint venture with Meta Platforms Inc. to develop and deploy enterprise-grade AI products in India and select global markets.
The new entity — Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Limited (REIL) — will see Reliance hold a 70 % stake and Meta’s Facebook Overseas owning 30 %, with an initial investment of ₹855 crore.
