Reliance Intelligence plans to commission its initial 120 MW AI infrastructure in Jamnagar by the end of 2026, aiming to establish India’s sovereign AI backbone. Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, highlighted this initiative during the company’s Annual General Meeting, noting the current challenges of high computing costs and scarcity in India. The infrastructure will be powered by clean energy from Reliance’s solar generation in Kutch. Initially, the company will deploy advanced NVIDIA GB300 GPUs, equivalent to over 75,000 H100 GPUs for AI inference. As the infrastructure becomes fully operational, it is expected to scale to more than 200,000 H100-equivalent GPUs, positioning Reliance among the world’s largest AI infrastructure platforms.
Ambani emphasized the importance of partnerships in AI development, stating that combining global technologies with Indian expertise and governance is crucial. Reliance has expanded its collaboration with Google into an AI-focused partnership, featuring Google AI Pro powered by Gemini. Additionally, a joint venture with Meta aims to implement the Llama open-source AI model for Indian enterprises, ensuring sovereign hosting and full transparency within India.
Reliance Intelligence is also developing multilingual AI services accessible in 22 Indian languages, supporting applications like Jio Bharat IQ, AI Vyapar, Jio Health IQ, Jio Learn IQ, and Jio Krishi IQ. Ambani stressed the need for AI to be user-friendly, trustworthy, and affordable, providing a scalable foundation for consumer, enterprise, and government AI services.
