Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), led by Mukesh Ambani, is set to significantly scale up its presence in Andhra Pradesh with plans to build a 1 GW artificial intelligence (AI) data centre, strengthening the company’s national AI infrastructure footprint. The announcement was made at the CII Partnership Summit 2025 in Visakhapatnam.
The upcoming facility will operate as a twin hub to Reliance’s gigawatt-scale AI data centre in Jamnagar and will be equipped with cutting-edge GPUs, TPUs, and advanced AI processors, forming one of the most powerful AI networks in Asia. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to clean energy by linking the project to a dedicated 6 GWp solar power installation, ensuring green power for the entire AI ecosystem.
Reliance highlighted that it has already invested over ₹2,21,775 crore (US$ 25 billion) in Andhra Pradesh across energy, digital services, and retail—underscoring the state’s strategic importance to its long-term growth plans.
New Investments Beyond AI Infrastructure

Compressed Biogas Hubs
Reliance will also establish integrated compressed biogas (CBG) hubs to promote natural farming, enhance rural income generation, and support sustainable energy adoption.
