Mukesh Ambani to Build World's Largest Data Centre in Gujarat

25 Jan 2025 CW Team

Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, plans to construct the world’s largest data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, as part of its broader push into the artificial intelligence (AI) sector in India, according to a Bloomberg report.

The project will involve the use of AI semiconductors supplied by NVIDIA, a global leader in AI technology. In October 2024, Reliance and NVIDIA announced plans to develop AI infrastructure in India, with NVIDIA providing its Blackwell AI processors for a one-gigawatt data center being built by Reliance.

In September 2024, the two companies also revealed a partnership to create AI supercomputers in India and develop large language models (LLMs) tailored to India’s diverse linguistic landscape. NVIDIA later entered a similar collaboration with the Tata Group, emphasising its commitment to advancing India’s AI ecosystem.

The Indian government has pledged over Rs 100 billion to support AI startups, projects, and LLM development as part of its AI ambitions. However, challenges persist. India’s chipmaking industry remains nascent, and establishing semiconductor fabrication facilities is both capital-intensive and time-consuming. Additionally, the country is still building the skilled workforce necessary to operate such facilities, and it has yet to produce its first domestically manufactured chip.
