Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries is planning to build the world’s largest data center in India, Bloomberg News reported. The project will be located in Jamnagar in Gujarat as Reliance continues its push into the artificial intelligence (AI) sector in India.
Mukesh Ambani is said to be purchasing AI semiconductors from Nvidia, one of the leading global companies in AI technology, as the two companies announced a joint attempt in building AI infrastructure in India in October last year during a chat session at the Nvidia AI Summit 2024.
Nvidia has said that it will supply its Blackwell AI processors for a one-gigawatt data centre Reliance is building as the company’s CEO Jensen Huang said during the summit, “It makes complete sense that India should manufacture its own AI. You should not export data to import intelligence. India should not export flour to import bread.”
Talking about the large intelligence capacity of the Indian market, Mukesh Ambani said, “We can use intelligence to actually bring prosperity to all the people and bring equality to the world…Apart from the US and China, India has the best digital connectivity infrastructure.”
In September last year, Reliance Industries and Nvidia announced a partnership to develop AI supercomputers in India and create large language models (LLMs) which will be trained on the country’s diverse languages.
This comes as the Indian government has pledged significant support for AI aspirations, with an investment of over Rs 10,000 crore to fund startups, AI projects, and the development of LLMs.
