According to reports, Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, is embarking on an ambitious venture to establish what could become the world’s largest data center by capacity in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

The project aims to capitalize on the growing global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) services. The company plans to equip the data center with Nvidia Corp’s cutting-edge AI semiconductors, targeting a capacity of three gigawatts.

Once operational, this facility will surpass the largest existing data centers, which have capacities under one gigawatt.

This groundbreaking initiative aligns Reliance with global tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, which heavily invest in AI-enabled data centers.

Recently, the Stargate Project was announced with a total investment ranging from $100 billion to $500 billion in US-based AI infrastructure in collaboration with Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank. However, Ambani’s venture stands out due to its unprecedented scale.

The new data center will integrate renewable energy sources to the greatest extent possible, leveraging Reliance’s green energy complex in Jamnagar. The facility will incorporate solar, green hydrogen, and wind projects. However, experts caution that maintaining a consistent power supply will require supplementary resources such as large-scale battery systems and fossil fuels.

Ambani’s pricing strategy could significantly impact the AI market, as he has pledged to make AI applications more affordable by offering cost-effective solutions. His approach mirrors his success in the wireless sector, where he drastically reduced prices to achieve market dominance.

If realized, the Jamnagar data center will triple India’s current data center capacity, which is presently below one gigawatt, and will substantially boost the country’s AI infrastructure.

India, the world’s most populous nation, is expected to benefit significantly from this development, driving the adoption of AI-driven technologies. On a global scale, demand for AI data centers is projected to surge.
