Meta signs first AI data center deal in India with Reliance

Meta has announced its first AI infrastructure partnership in India, collaborating with Reliance Industries to develop a 168-megawatt AI-enabled data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This deal builds upon an existing multi-year relationship between the two companies, which has previously spanned investments in Jio Platforms and joint ventures in enterprise AI. The new facility, slated for completion within two years, will run on renewable energy and desalinated seawater. This investment highlights India's growing role as a strategic hub for global AI infrastructure, supported by favorable government policies and rising demand for local computing power.
