According to Bloomberg’s report, Rilean Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani is planning to build a data center in Jam Nagar, Gwanjarat. The facility is expected to boast a total capacity of 3 gigawatts, which will significantly exceed the current global benchmark, and will be a major movement in the Indian technology world. For comparison, the largest data centers currently operated are mainly in the United States, and their capacity is less than 1 Gigawatt.
To support this ambitious movement, reirance procures advanced AI semiconductors from Nvidia Corporation. These high -performance chips are essential for the complex calculations required for AI -drive tools such as Chatgpt and other generated AI platforms.
The timing of Mukesh Ambani’s transfer is not coincidence. Technology, such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, has spent billions of dollars on high demand for AI services. Earlier this week, the Consortium, including Openai, SoftBank, and Oracle, has announced plans to invest up to $ 500 billion in AI infrastructure under a project called Stargate.
If this initiative proceeds as planned, Ambani’s Jam Nagar facilities not only exceed the existing data center abilities, but also provide competitiveness to India in the growing AI market. At this time, the total capacity of Indian data centers is less than 1 Gigawatt, as in the United States. Moting this ability in one project can be a major milestone for this country and AI development can accelerate.
The size of the project is unprecedented, but its estimated cost is unprecedented. According to the industry estimation, the construction of such a large -scale facility may require $ 20 to 30 billion investment. Relawn Industries has a hand -on -hand funding of about $ 26 billion, but it is still difficult to provide funds to these projects. The company has not yet commented on this report.
Ambani’s strategy seems to be similar to his approach in the communication field that destroyed the market by providing services at an affordable price. The purpose of this time is to reduce the cost of AI inference (calculation process behind the execution of AI model). This cost can be as expensive for emerging companies and existing companies as well.
Jamnagar is already a base for refining and petroleum chemicals in the reirance, and will play a central role in the company’s renewable energy and AI promotion. The data center is expected to be powered mainly by green energy, and the reirance has built solar power, wind power, and green hydrogen projects nearby. However, experts have pointed out that maintaining continuous energy supply to such large -scale facilities may still need fossil fuels and large -scale battery systems.
Ambani stated that it was the ultimate goal that everyone in India could use AI. Last year he said, “We want to provide the lowest AI inference costs in the world and make AI available at an affordable price.”
