Meta has secured a 168 megawatt data center lease from Reliance Industries in India. The arrangement places Meta’s computing operations inside one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets.
The deal sits within a joint venture between the two companies, with Reliance holding roughly 70% ownership. The venture’s focus: building enterprise AI solutions powered by Meta’s Llama models, specifically tailored for Indian businesses.
What the deal actually looks like
The data center is expected to be located in either Jamnagar, Gujarat or Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Both cities are part of Reliance’s broader blueprint for constructing gigawatt-scale AI campuses across the country.
Reliance is targeting 100 to 120 MW of operational capacity by 2026 as an initial deployment phase.
