Meta Platforms is partnering with Reliance Industries to secure its first AI data center in India, as large technology companies expand global computing capacity. Multiple outlets report that Meta has agreed to lease an AI-enabled data center from Reliance rather than building it directly. The facility is described as 168 megawatts and is intended to support Meta’s global AI computing needs. Reliance is expected to construct the site in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The companies also indicate the arrangement includes the ability to scale the capacity over time, matching Meta’s longer-term growth in AI workload demand. The deal fits into broader trends of hyperscalers and other tech firms investing in power-intensive infrastructure to support machine-learning systems. While outlets differ slightly in wording, they consistently characterize the transaction as Meta’s first AI data center commitment in India and a leasing partnership with Reliance, with Reliance building the facility and Meta taking capacity under the lease agreement.
