Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, has unveiled an ambitious plan to invest ₹7 lakh crore (approximately $84 billion) over the next 10 to 15 years in Gujarat, aimed at establishing cutting-edge clean energy and artificial intelligence hubs. The announcement underscores Reliance’s strategic pivot toward sustainable energy and future technologies, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to India’s industrial transformation.
As reported in an article titled “Mukesh Ambani announces ₹7 lakh crore investment to build clean energy, AI hubs in Gujarat,” published by The Economic Times, the substantial investment will be channeled through Reliance’s various business verticals. It includes the development of 100 GW of renewable energy capacity and a green hydrogen ecosystem in the state, aligning with India’s broader climate action goals and its push toward energy self-sufficiency.
The initiative, which marks one of the largest single investment pledges in India’s recent history, also includes the creation of a state-of-the-art AI-driven digital infrastructure hub. According to Ambani, this AI initiative is designed to accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies across sectors, supporting India’s aspiration to become a global digital leader.
Speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Ambani credited the state government’s pro-business policies and infrastructure readiness as key factors influencing Reliance’s continued commitment to Gujarat. Noting that Gujarat has been the company’s “janmabhoomi” (birthplace) since its inception, Ambani emphasized that the state would also be its “karmabhoomi” (workplace) for many generations to come.
The clean energy component of the plan includes the construction of a Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, which is expected to integrate solar, wind, and green hydrogen facilities. With the global energy landscape shifting away from fossil fuels, Reliance’s vision positions it as a central player in India’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
The announcement drew strong endorsements from both central and state officials, who highlighted the potential for massive employment generation and manufacturing opportunities across Gujarat. Industry analysts view the move as a critical step in aligning private sector investment with national development priorities, particularly in clean energy resilience and digital innovation.
Ambani’s investment declaration not only reinforces Reliance Industries’ evolving identity beyond petrochemicals and telecommunications, but also signals a broader trend among Indian conglomerates actively reshaping their business models for a more sustainable, technology-driven future.
