Rajkot (Gujarat) [India], January 11 (ANI): Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani on Sunday announced that Jio will launch a people-first artificial intelligence platform built in India, for India, and for the world, while also unveiling plans to double Reliance’s investment in Gujarat to Rs 7 lakh crore over the next five years.
Speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for the Kutch and Saurashtra Region in Rajkot, Ambani said the AI platform will enable every citizen—starting from Gujarat—to access AI services in their own language, on their own device, every day, to make them more efficient and productive. He vowed to make Gujarat India’s artificial intelligence pioneer.
“In Jamnagar, we are building India’s largest artificial intelligence-ready data centre with a single goal — affordable AI for every Indian,” Ambani said.
Calling the regional summit a “true force multiplier” for the development of Saurashtra, Ambani praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reshaping India’s long-term trajectory. “Never in the history of independent India have we seen so much hope, so much self-confidence, and so much vibrancy in India as we do now. Your vision has reshaped India’s trajectory for the next 50 years and more,” he said.
Emphasising Reliance’s deep roots in the state, Ambani said, “For Reliance, Gujarat is far more than a location. Gujarat is our body, heart and soul. We are a Gujarati company.”
Ambani announced five firm commitments for Gujarat. First, he said Reliance will invest at an unprecedented scale. “Reliance is already Gujarat’s largest investor. In the last five years, we have invested over Rs 3.5 lakh crores,” he said, adding that the company will double its total investment in the state to Rs 7 lakh crores over the next five years.
The second commitment focuses on making Gujarat a global leader in clean energy and green materials. At Jamnagar, Reliance is building what Ambani described as the world’s largest integrated clean energy ecosystem, spanning solar power, battery energy storage, green hydrogen, green fertiliser, sustainable aviation fuel, maritime fuels, and advanced materials.
“These are not only industries of the future; they are foundations of India’s prosperous tomorrow. Jamnagar, once the largest hydrocarbon energy exporter, will in the coming years become India’s largest exporter of green energy and materials, from Gujarat,” he said.
Third, Ambani pledged to transform the Kutch region into a global clean energy hub. He highlighted Reliance’s multi-gigawatt utility-scale solar project, among the world’s largest, which will deliver round-the-clock clean power through advanced storage and modern grid integration, reinforcing Gujarat’s leadership in renewables.
The fourth commitment is the launch of the AI platform aimed at democratising access to artificial intelligence across the country.
Fifth, Ambani said Reliance will partner with Gujarat to support India’s Olympic ambitions. “The Reliance Foundation stands ready to serve the Prime Minister’s vision of bringing the 2036 Olympics to Ahmedabad,” he said. As a concrete step, Reliance will partner with the Gujarat government to manage the Veer Savarkar Multisports Complex in Naranpura, which will host national and international events and train future champions.
He also announced the establishment of a world-class hospital in Jamnagar and a significant expansion of Reliance’s education facilities in the Saurashtra region. (ANI)
