Meta signs first AI data center deal in India with Reliance
As tech companies race to secure the computing power needed to train and deploy AI systems, Meta is making its first AI infrastructure bet in India, striking a data center partnership with conglomerate Reliance Industries in a market that is rapidly emerging as a hub for AI infrastructure. The partnership,announcedon Wednesday, will see Meta collaborate with Reliance on a 168-megawatt AI-enabled data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, expanding a relationship that has evolved from Meta’s multibillion-dollar investment in Reliance’s Jio Platforms to a$100 million joint venturelaunched last year to develop enterprise AI solutions for customers in India and overseas markets. The deal comes as India cements its status as a natural destination for AI infrastructure investments, with tech giants seeking new geographies for data centers amid soaring demand for computing power to train and deploy AI models. Companies includingMicrosoft,Amazon,Google,OpenAI, andUberhave recently announced AI and cloud infrastructure investments in the country, which has rapidly expanded its data center footprint in recent years. The rush into India extends beyond global technology firms. Earlier this week, Blackstone-backed AirTrunk announced plans toinvest $30 billion to build 5 gigawatts of data center capacityin the country by 2030, while Indian conglomerates includingAdaniandTata Consultancy Serviceshave also unveiled major data center expansion plans aimed at supporting AI workloads. New Delhi has sought to attract such investments through policy incentives, includingtax exemptions through 2047for foreign cloud providers on services sold overseas, so long as those workloads are run from Indian data centers. India’s installed data center capacity has risen fromabout 375 megawatts in 2020 to around 1.5 gigawattsin 2025, according to government data. Industry estimates project that figure could growmore than fivefold to over 8 gigawattsby the end of the decade, driven by cloud adoption, AI workloads, and rising demand for local data processing. The Meta-Reliance agreement marks the latest chapter in a relationship that has steadily deepened since Metainvested $5.7 billionin Jio Platforms in 2020. Since then, the companies have expanded their collaboration across digital services, enterprise AI, and now the infrastructure underpinning next-generation AI systems. As part of the partnership, Meta is leasing capacity at Reliance’s new Jamnagar facility, which the companies said will be powered by renewable energy and cooled using desalinated seawater. Meta has committed to covering the entire cost of the energy and water required to support its operations there. Reliance said the 168-megawatt facility will ready within two years and can be expanded over time. Further, the data center will also support Meta’s global infrastructure and AI computing requirements, plugging India more directly into the company’s worldwide network of AI facilities. Under the agreement, Reliance said it would provide end-to-end services ranging from design and construction to renewable power, connectivity, and ongoing operations, a sign of the conglomerate’s ambitions to become a one-stop shop for AI infrastructure among global technology companies. Separately, Meta said it had contracted nearly 1 gigawatt of new renewable energy capacity in India through agreements with CleanMax and Fourth Partner Energy, which will supplement the renewable power supporting the Jamnagar facility. The companies did not disclose the value of the agreement, the type of AI workloads that will run from the facility, or whether Meta plans additional AI infrastructure investments in India.
