We can truly employ intelligence to promote equality and prosperity for all people worldwide. Speaking on the vast intelligence potential of the Indian market, Ambani has stated, “India has the best digital connectivity infrastructure aside from the US and China.”
For those who are unaware, Nvidia and Reliance Industries teamed up in September 2024 to create AI supercomputers and massive language models specific to Indian languages. Nvidia also forged a similar partnership with the Tata Group, reaffirming its emphasis on India’s AI-driven development.
Ambani’s Jamnagar project will surpass present data centre capabilities and provide India with a competitive edge in the growing AI market if this venture proceeds as planned. Similar to the USA, India’s total data centre capacity is currently less than one gigawatt. A major accomplishment that may hasten the nation’s AI advancement would be tripling this capability in a single endeavour.
With an estimated cost of $20 to $30 billion, the projected data centre in Jamnagar, supported by Reliance Industries, is expected to be a ground-breaking project that might put the company’s $26 billion cash reserves to the test.
The goal of this program is to lower the high prices of AI inferencing for enterprises, which is similar to Reliance Jio’s disruptive strategy in the telecom industry. The data centre, which will be situated on the grounds of Reliance’s petrochemical and oil refining industries, will concentrate on sustainable energy by leveraging local wind, solar, and green hydrogen initiatives. Experts caution that fossil fuels or extensive battery storage may still be necessary to provide a steady electricity supply for such a huge installation. Read more »
