“Jamnagar is not only the best oil refinery in the world, but it also has the biggest gigafactory in the world, the biggest solar energy, and the world’s artificial intelligence infrastructure. Besides, the digital factory will also be in Jamnagar,” Mukesh Ambani said.
“It sets a platform, which will be a platform for growth for the next many decades, for all of you, for your children,” he added.
AI plans
Reliance is establishing an AI infrastructure in Jamnagar, expected to be completed in 24 months. Speaking at the same event, Akash Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) said, “The AI infrastructure we are beginning to build in Jamnagar will not only make the city a leader in AI technology but will position it among the world’s top-ranked cities.
