Reliance Forms AI Unit, Partners Meta, Google Cloud For New Digital Businesses

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has set up a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliance Intelligence, to house artificial intelligence infrastructure and build gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres. Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced the move at the company’s annual general meeting on Friday.

Ambani said work has already begun on the first AI-ready data centres at Jamnagar, which will be delivered in phases. Reliance Intelligence will bring together global technology companies and open-source communities, and has the “potential to grow larger than our existing business segments” in the future, he added.

As part of its AI push, RIL also announced a joint venture with Meta Platforms to build enterprise AI solutions for Indian and international companies. Both firms have committed an initial investment of ₹8.55 billion (around $100 million), with RIL holding a 70% stake and Meta the remaining 30%. The collaboration will combine Meta’s open-source Llama models with Reliance’s digital backbone to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions.

Ambani said the company’s investments will help make India a global leader in human-centric robotics powered by AI, creating new industries, jobs, and opportunities for young people.

Separately, RIL expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to deploy AI-driven solutions across all of its businesses. Under the arrangement, RIL will design and power a state-of-the-art cloud facility and network infrastructure at Jamnagar, fully compliant with Google Cloud’s global standards to support the most demanding AI workloads. Reliance Jio will provide high-capacity fibre connectivity linking Jamnagar to key metros such as Mumbai and Delhi.
