Mukesh Ambani has announced an AI investment of Rs. 10 lakh crore at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. The chairman of Reliance Industries Limited shared that the fund will be spread over the next seven years and used to build strong and independent AI systems in India. Ambani said India will not depend on foreign companies for intelligence and create its own AI backbone.
The project will start in 2026. The capital will be used to build large data centres, expand green energy, and make AI tools more affordable. Ambani called AI a modern-day Akshay Patra. He said AI can create endless opportunities for every sector.
Jio Platforms Limited will lead this mission. The company will build gigawatt-scale data centres in Jamnagar. A 120 MW data centre will go live by late 2026. These centres will run on up to 10 gigawatts of green energy from solar projects in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Clean power will support AI growth.
Ambani said while India has strong talent, AI computing remains expensive. Jio Platforms plans to reduce AI computing costs, just as it reduced mobile data prices in the telecom sector.
The company will also expand edge computing across India. AI services will reach cities, towns, and villages through Jio’s digital network. Multilingual AI models will help farmers, students, small businesses, and startups. The goal is simple: make AI affordable and accessible for every citizen.
The Rs. 10 lakh crore (or $110 billion) investment marks one of the largest technology investments in Indian history. The sovereign AI infrastructure will also protect data and improve national security. India will control its own digital future.
Ambani said India can become one of the world’s top AI powers in this century. He linked this plan with India’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. AI will support healthcare, agriculture, education, retail, and finance. It will create new jobs and business opportunities.
The Mukesh Ambani AI investment signals a major shift. Reliance Industries and Jio Platforms now aim to lead India into the Intelligence Era.
