Meta Platforms
said on Wednesday it will lease an artificial intelligence-enabled data center in India with 168 megawatts of capacity from billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries
.
Reliance Industries, whose broad conglomerate empire includes everything from petrochemicals to textiles and mass media, will build the data center for Meta and deliver the facility within two years, with an option to scale, the U.S. company said in a release.
“This world-class facility in Jamnagar will help us scale our AI infrastructure globally while deepening our long-term investment in India’s economy,” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive of Meta.
Reliance’s partnership with Meta goes back to 2020, when Zuckerberg’s company invested $5.7 billion in Ambani’s telecom and digital services business, Jio Platforms.
Last year, the two companies extended their collaboration via a joint venture that made Meta’s open-source AI models available for Indian enterprises and developers.
