Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) have partnered to set up a data centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat with 168 MW capacity to be delivered within two years and an option to scale. This will be the first built-to-suit data centre capacity in India for Meta, underlining India’s emergence as a global hub for AI infrastructure.

Meta will lease capacity from the facility, expanding the company’s global infrastructure, supporting its core business and AI compute needs. RIL will provide end-to-end services for the data centre lifecycle – from design and to ongoing management of utilities, renewable power supply, network connectivity, and fully managed operational services. The data centre will be powered by renewable energy and cooled with desalinated seawater, demonstrating both RIL’s and Meta’s commitment to sustainability.

The project positions RIL as a single-window solutions provider for hyperscale AI infrastructure in India. The data centre will also offer delivery capability, renewable energy, water availability, proximity to India’s western submarine cable landing stations and Jio’s extensive fibre network.

Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries, said, “Building India’s first built-to-suit data centre for a global technology leader of Meta’s scale demonstrates India’s readiness to be at the forefront of the global AI revolution. At Reliance, we are committed to building world-class digital infrastructure that will power the next generation of AI innovation – not just for India, but for the world. Jamnagar will become a landmark destination for hyperscale AI computing, and we are proud to partner with Meta to make this vision a reality

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO, Meta, said, “We’re proud to be working with Reliance to build our first AI-enabled data center in India. This world-class facility in Jamnagar will help us scale our AI infrastructure globally while deepening our long-term investment in India’s economy.”
