Reliance and Google Cloud Unite To Build India’s Green AI Hub

• Reliance and Google Cloud collaborate to build India’s first sustainable, AI-focused cloud region in Jamnagar.
• Partnership enables AI-first services for enterprises, startups, SMBs, developers, and public organizations nationwide.
• AI infrastructure powered by green energy, Jio’s connectivity, and Google Cloud’s AI hyper computer and applications.

Reliance Industries Limited and Google Cloud have announced a major collaboration to accelerate India’s digital and AI transformation. The two companies, which previously partnered to make internet access affordable for millions, are now expanding their alliance to deliver secure, sustainable, and cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

In this project, Google Cloud and Reliance will collaboratively drive one of the fastest-growing retail ecosystems in the world and support the modernization of all the businesses of Reliance Industries Limited using the latest AI. Reliance will design, build, and operate a state of the art cloud facility at Jamnagar. This dedicated cloud will conform to the standards of Google Cloud everywhere, but it will be secure and compliant, and it will be able to handle the most challenging AI load.

The new AI-driven cloud region will enable Reliance to deliver high-performance, AI-first services across enterprises, small and medium businesses, startups, developers, and the public sector. These services will be backed by the scale of Jio’s advanced digital network and Reliance’s clean energy leadership.
