Reliance to Build India's First Built-to-Suit AI Data Centre for Meta in Jamnagar
Under the agreement, RIL will develop the built-to-suit facility within two years, with provisions for future capacity expansion. Meta will lease capacity from the data centre to support its global infrastructure operations, including AI computing and core business requirements.
The project represents Meta's first built-to-suit data centre capacity in India and further strengthens its long-standing partnership with Reliance across connectivity, digital commerce and artificial intelligence.
The facility is expected to play a key role in supporting Meta's growing global AI infrastructure needs while reinforcing India's position in the global digital and AI ecosystem. The investment also highlights the country's increasing attractiveness as a destination for large-scale data centre and advanced technology infrastructure projects.
RIL will provide comprehensive end-to-end services spanning the entire lifecycle of the data centre — from design and construction to the ongoing management of utilities, renewable power supply, network connectivity, and fully managed operational services. This positions RIL as a single-window solutions provider for hyperscale AI infrastructure in India.
The strategic location in Gujarat offers significant advantages for large-scale data centre operations, including delivery capability, renewable energy, water availability, proximity to India’s western submarine cable landing stations, and Jio’s extensive fibre network. The data centre will be powered by renewable energy and cooled using desalinated seawater, demonstrating both RIL's and Meta's commitment to sustainability.
This partnership is aligned with the Government of India's priorities, which designate data centres as strategic national infrastructure and introduce a long-term policy framework to attract global AI infrastructure investment into India.
Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said, “This partnership with Meta marks a transformative moment for India’s digital infrastructure. 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 centre 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.”
