Reliance and Google Cloud Expand Partnership to Accelerate India’s Growth with AI

MUMBAI:

Reliance Industries Limited (“Reliance” or “RIL”) today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud to help shape India’s next leap with AI.

Reliance and Google have been investing in India’s digital future, working over the last decade to bring affordable internet access to millions and power India’s digital revolution. This new collaboration aims to build on this by delivering cutting-edge, secure AI infrastructure, powered by green energy and connected by Jio’s advanced digital network.

Under the partnership, Google Cloud and Reliance will work together to deliver the performance, reliability, and security required to support one of the world’s fastest-growing retail ecosystems. The collaboration will also help all of Reliance’s businesses transform using AI. RIL will design, build, and power the state-of-the-art cloud facility and associated network infrastructure at Jamnagar. The cloud region will be fully compliant with Google Cloud’s global specifications and service-level standards, to enable the most demanding AI workloads.

By enabling the deployment of advanced AI-driven solutions, the cloud region will significantly enhance RIL’s ability to innovate faster and modernize its operations with infrastructure and AI underpinned by Google Cloud. The dedicated cloud region will enable RIL to develop and provide high-performance, AI-first services to enterprises, SMBs, startups, developers and public sector organizations, backed by the scale and reliability of Jio’s network and Reliance’s energy leadership.

Building on its leadership in AI, Google Cloud will deploy its powerful AI hypercomputer and secure, fully integrated and optimized AI stack that offers generative AI models, development platform, and AI-powered applications.

The facility will be powered through Reliance’s green energy initiatives, ensuring sustainable operations at hyperscale. Reliance Jio will provide high-capacity intra- and inter-metro fiber connectivity linking Jamnagar to key metros such as Mumbai and Delhi.

Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said: “This partnership with Google Cloud marks a new chapter in India’s technology journey. By bringing Google Cloud’s AI capabilities to Jamnagar, supported by Reliance’s infrastructure, renewable energy, and nationwide network, we are laying the foundation for India to become a global leader in AI. Just as Jio and Google came together to democratize the internet for every Indian, we will now democratize intelligence for every Indian.”

Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google and Alphabet, said: “At Google, we’ve long been investing in India’s digital future, and our partnership with Reliance and Jio has been an important part of how we do that. Our work together over the last decade has helped bring affordable internet access to millions. And now, we are building on this to help shape the next leap with AI. This is only the beginning, and we look forward to building India’s AI future together.”
