Reliance Industries (RIL) announced an expanded strategic partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate India’s growth with artificial intelligence (AI). The collaboration aims to build cutting-edge, secure AI infrastructure powered by green energy and connected by Jio’s advanced digital network.
Under the partnership, RIL and Google Cloud will work together to establish a dedicated, AI-focused cloud region in Jamnagar, India. The facility will be designed, built, and powered by Reliance and will be fully compliant with Google Cloud’s global specifications. This infrastructure will be powered by Reliance’s green energy initiatives and will support demanding AI workloads.
The dedicated cloud region will enable RIL to develop and provide high-performance, AI-first services to a wide range of organizations, including enterprises, SMBs, startups, developers, and public sector organizations. Google Cloud will bring its powerful AI hypercomputer and secure AI stack, which includes generative AI models, a development platform, and AI-powered applications. Reliance Jio will provide high-capacity fiber connectivity linking Jamnagar to major metros like Mumbai and Delhi.
Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said, “This partnership with Google Cloud marks a new chapter in India’s technology journey. By bringing Google Cloud’s AI capabilities to Jamnagar, supported by Reliance’s infrastructure, renewable energy, and nationwide network, we are laying the foundation for India to become a global leader in AI. Just as Jio and Google came together to democratize the internet for every Indian, we will now democratize intelligence for every Indian.”
Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google and Alphabet, said, “At Google, we’ve long been investing in India’s digital future, and our partnership with Reliance and Jio has been an important part of how we do that. Our work together over the last decade has helped bring affordable internet access to millions. And now, we are building on this to help shape the next leap with AI. This is only the beginning, and we look forward to building India’s AI future together.”
