India's Reliance Is Building Massive 3GW Data Center – ReportIndia's Reliance Is Building Massive 3GW Data Center – Report

India's largest business conglomerate, Reliance Industries, is building what may turn out to be the world's largest data center in terms of capacity, according to a Bloomberg report (paywall applies).

The upcoming data center, in Jamnagar in the state of Gujarat in Western India, will have a capacity of 3GW, significantly more than any other data center worldwide. Reliance Industries operates one of the world's largest petroleum refineries in Jamnagar. Jamnagar is also where it all started for Reliance Industries, so it is not surprising that it has decided to locate the AI data center there.  

"We are laying the groundwork for a truly national AI infrastructure. We plan to establish gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centers in Jamnagar, powered entirely by Reliance's green energy, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and a greener future," said Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, at the company's 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM) last year.

This is part of the strategy to democratize AI and achieve Jio's "AI Everywhere for Everyone" vision, which Ambani said will offer "powerful AI models and services to everyone in India at the most affordable prices."
