Mukesh Ambani plans to build world’s largest AI data center

India could soon host the world’s biggest data center by capacity through Reliance Group under billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s leadership. This comes as part of the worldwide investment trend into projects for rising AI services.

According to a Bloomberg report, the team led by Ambani has bought Nvidia’s next-gen AI chips to develop Jamnagar’s largest planned data infrastructure with a three-gigawatt power ceiling.   This project surpasses every existing data center since none expands beyond one gigawatt in size.

A Reliance representative refused direct comment but pointed towards Akash Ambani’s recent remarks. Reliance Jio’s CEO, Akash, confirmed that the completion schedule for the new project would last two years. He assured that the team would follow the “true Jamnagar style in record time” as established during Jamnagar projects.

Ambani’s data center creation can attain the largest operating capacity

According to DC Byte, the current largest data centers have total capacities below one gigawatt. Computing capacities for AI models demand vast power resources, and data center megawatt capabilities set operational thresholds.

Ambani’s record of ambitious strategic moves parallels his approach to artificial intelligence development. His industry-transforming telecom pricing model remains consistent with future plans for significantly reduced AI inferencing rates, the operation that powers AI systems such as ChatGPT. The measures could deliver significant cost savings for startups and businesses that use these AI tools.

Ambani’s data center is estimated to be up to $30 billion

Jamnagar will become even more significant for Reliance’s technology infrastructure as its data center capability expands threefold, which will significantly advance India’s artificial intelligence industry. Reliance manages multiple renewable energy facilities throughout the residential town, with a population of 650,000.

While experts believe project expenses may reach between $20 billion and $30 billion, Reliance still lacks a defined financing strategy. The company’s latest balance sheet shows $26 billion reserved.

Reliance aims to drive capacity and affordability achievement for AI transformation.

Reliance’s goal to power its data center includes using renewable energy sourced from adjacent solar and wind installations. Alternative solutions, such as fossil fuels and substantial battery systems, will be necessary to maintain a consistent energy supply because renewable energy cannot provide steady power on its own.

Ambani’s ambition is clear. In last year’s speech, he outlined plans for affordable AI in India through collaboration between Reliance’s infrastructure skills and worldwide partnerships.

The launch of generative AI systems, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, will create massive market demand for AI-ready data centers.

By 2030, McKinsey and Co. forecast a threefold increase in global data center capacity while the United States struggles with a 15-gigawatt shortage. To fulfill the predicted demand, organizations would need to expand their existing capacity to twice what has been constructed since 2000.
