In June 2026, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and Meta Platforms announced a landmark partnership to build India’s first custom-built AI-enabled hyperscale data centre at Jamnagar, Gujarat. The facility will support large-scale artificial intelligence training and processing workloads.
Under the agreement, Reliance will design, construct, operate, and manage the data centre, while Meta will lease its entire computing capacity. The project’s first phase will provide 168 MW of computing power and is expected to become operational within 24 months.
The data centre will be directly connected to Meta’s Project Waterworth, a global subsea cable network spanning over 50,000 km, enabling faster and more efficient data processing for users of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook in India.
The project also emphasizes sustainability. It will operate on 100% renewable energy, supported by new solar and wind projects, and will use desalinated seawater-based cooling systems to reduce pressure on freshwater resources.
This initiative strengthens the growing partnership between Reliance and Meta and positions India as a major hub in the global artificial intelligence infrastructure ecosystem.
