Reliance Industries has announced plans to build Meta’s first AI‑enabled data center in India, which will be a gamechanger for India's digital infrastructure. The facility in Jamnagar, Gujarat will have an initial capacity of 168 MW and will be one of the biggest hyperscale AI data centers in Asia.
The project speaks to Reliance’s ambition to position itself as a leader in advanced computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Meta is our first step to make use of global knowledge as well as to help India in this fast-growing AI ecosystem. The Jamnagar facility will support cutting-edge AI workloads, cloud services and enterprise solutions for domestic and global customers.
Key highlights of the Project: First AI-enabled Meta data center in India:
Marks Meta’s entry into India’s hyperscale infrastructure market.
168 MW capacity: Supports the scalability of future AI and cloud computing needs.
Jamnagar: chosen for infrastructure, renewable energy access and proximity to Reliance’s existing facilities.
Based on renewable energy and cooling systems that are state-of-the-art.
The data center will be crucial to Reliance’s Jio digital ecosystem and will be able to enable the rapid deployment of AI‑driven services across telecom, retail and healthcare sectors. For Meta, the investment is further strengthening its long-term commitment to India as well as its recent $5.7 billion investment in Jio Platforms.
Industry experts say the project will help accelerate India’s digital transformation and provide the foundation to drive the development of generative AI, machine learning and enterprise solutions. And it’s also in line with the government’s aim to make India one of the world’s tech hubs for advanced technologies and AI infrastructure.
The Reliance and Meta partnership to build a 168 MW AI‑enabled data center in Jamnagar is an important step forward in the digital evolution of India. By having scale, sustainability and strategic partnership at the core, this will help to remake India’s place in the global AI infrastructure and open new avenues for innovation and growth.
