Reliance has revealed its plans to build a large AI ecosystem in India, which will cover everything from powerful data centres to AI tools designed specifically for Indian users. The Indian tech giant known for its telecom goals is to make AI more affordable, accessible, and useful across different sectors of society.
Biggest AI data centre in Jamnagar
One of the biggest challenges in developing artificial intelligence is access to powerful computing systems, which is known as AI compute. Reliance addressed this issue by setting up a large AI infrastructure in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
At the 49th AGM, the company will further deploy Nvidia's latest GB300 GPUs, which will provide computing power equivalent to around 75,000 H100 GPUs. Over time, Reliance plans to expand this capacity to more than 2 million H100-equivalent GPUs, making it one of the largest AI computing facilities in the world.
Powered entirely by green energy
The upcoming AI data centre will be a 120 MW facility and is expected to be in operation by the end of 2026, as stated in the AGM video shared by Reliance.
Unlike many global AI facilities that use large amounts of fossil fuel, which are based on electricity, Reliance stated that the Jamnagar centre will run differently. It will be entirely on renewable solar energy generated from its Kutch energy complex based in Gujarat. This approach further aims at reducing the environmental impact of large-scale AI operations.
AI built for Indian languages
Reliance is stepping ahead to take a different approach to AI development. By building its systems directly in Indian-language models, instead of creating an English-first model which is being followed by many existing platforms. The Indian regional language-supporting AI model will translate them directly into the referred and chosen Indian language.
The company stated that the AI services will support 22 Indian languages, which makes them easier to use for Indians across the region.
