Google and Reliance Unveil Dedicated Cloud Region in Jamnagar to Power India’s AI Future

In a landmark announcement at Reliance Industries’ 48th Annual General Meeting, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed the launch of a dedicated Google Cloud region in Jamnagar, built exclusively for Reliance. The move marks a pivotal step in India’s digital transformation, aimed at accelerating AI adoption across industries and democratizing access to advanced computing infrastructure.

Purpose-Built for AI Innovation

The Jamnagar region will host Google Cloud’s latest-generation AI hypercomputer, offering full-stack environments for generative AI development, model training, and enterprise deployment. Designed and powered by Reliance, the facility will run entirely on green energy, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals.

This region is purpose-built to support India’s AI ambitions — from large enterprises to kirana stores, said Sundar Pichai.

“It’s a new chapter in India’s technology journey,” added Mukesh Ambani.

Infrastructure Highlights

• Hypercomputer Deployment: Optimized for large-scale generative models and AI-powered applications
• Green Energy Backbone: Powered by Reliance’s renewable energy assets
• Jio Fiber Integration: High-capacity connectivity linking Jamnagar to metros like Mumbai and Delhi
• Secure Data Environments: Designed for enterprise-grade governance and compliance

Strategic Impact

The Jamnagar region will serve as a launchpad for AI-first services across sectors including:

• Retail, telecom, energy, and financial services
• Startups, SMBs, and public sector organizations
• Developers and researchers building India-centric AI solutions

This initiative complements Reliance’s newly launched Reliance Intelligence, a wholly owned subsidiary focused on building consumer and enterprise-grade AI products.

National Significance

The announcement aligns with India’s broader push for sovereign AI infrastructure under the ₹10,370 crore IndiaAI Mission. By localizing compute power and enabling scalable AI deployment, the Jamnagar region positions India as a serious contender in the global AI race.

What’s Next

The cloud region is expected to go live in early 2026, with pilot deployments already underway in Reliance’s retail and telecom verticals. Analysts view this as a strategic convergence of infrastructure, innovation, and national ambition — one that could redefine India’s digital economy.
