Mukesh Ambani planning to build world largest data center in Jamnagar
world largest data center: Reliance Industries, owned by Mukesh Ambani, is in the process of constructing the world’s largest data center in India, as reported by Bloomberg News. This ambitious project will be situated in Jamnagar, Gujarat, representing a significant move by Reliance into the artificial intelligence (AI) sector in India.
Ambani is reportedly acquiring AI semiconductors from NVIDIA, a prominent global player in AI technology. In October 2024, Reliance and Nvidia announced a collaborative effort to develop AI infrastructure in India during a discussion at the Nvidia AI Summit 2024. The US company stated that it would provide its Blackwell AI processors for a one-gigawatt data center being constructed by Reliance. However, further details on recent developments are pending.
During the summit, Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of India manufacturing its own AI, stating, “You should not export data to import intelligence. India should not export flour to import bread.” He highlighted the potential for intelligence to drive prosperity and equality worldwide. Ambani echoed this sentiment, noting that India boasts exceptional digital connectivity infrastructure, positioning it as a key player in the global intelligence market.
In September of last year, Reliance Industries and NVIDIA made a groundbreaking announcement of their partnership to develop AI supercomputers in India and create large language models (LLMs) trained on the country’s diverse languages. This collaboration was followed by NVIDIA’s entrance into a similar partnership with the Tata Group, demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting India’s AI ambitions.
India’s AI aspirations have received significant backing from the government, with an investment of over Rs 10,000 crore allocated to fund startups, AI projects, and the development of LLMs. Despite these efforts, there have been challenges along the way.
The chipmaking industry in India is still in its early stages, and the establishment of semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs) is a complex and capital-intensive process that can take years to come to fruition. The operation of these fabs requires a specialized workforce, an area where India is still in the process of development. Currently, the country has yet to produce its first domestically made chip.
