Reliance Industries is all set to install a 1 GW AI data centre and a 6 GWp solar power project to support it.
FYI: this is the second big-ticket investment commitment from a major corporate player after Google announced a 1 GW data centre cluster in Vizag with a $15 billion investment over five years.
What’s the deal: the proposed AI centre will be a fully modular, future-ready facility capable of hosting advanced GPUs, TPUs and AI processors.
It is planned as a twin to the company’s gigawatt-scale data centre in Jamnagar. It intends to deliver AI tools to students, farmers, entrepreneurs and families through MyJio platform.That’s not all, Reliance will also build a massive 6-GWp solar power project in Andhra Pradesh.
Reliance and the Andhra Pradesh government have also signed 14 agreements, including plans for integrated compressed biogas hubs to support natural farming and healthier soil ecosystems.
What’s with Andhra: global giants and tech companies are betting big on Andhra Pradesh because it offers massive infrastructure, affordable land, stable power, and aggressive pro-AI policies.
The state aims to build ~6 GW of data-centre capacity and is developing a 500-acre Data City dedicated to AI and deep-tech.
With fast approvals, strong incentives, coastal connectivity, and an active push to develop AI talent, Andhra Pradesh has become a low-risk, high-scale hub attracting both global and Indian tech investors.
