Reliance Industries on Friday unveiled an ambitious artificial intelligence strategy spanning computing infrastructure, partnerships, enterprise services and consumer applications, including an AI assistant that can join phone calls and complete tasks on behalf of users.Speaking at Reliance Industries' 49th annual general meeting, Jio Chairman Akash Ambani said Reliance Intelligence is building what he described as India's sovereign AI backbone in Jamnagar, powered entirely by renewable energy generated from Reliance's Kutch energy complex.Read highlights from Reliance's AGM hereThe first phase of the facility, comprising 120 MW of capacity, will be commissioned by the end of 2026. Reliance is also operationalising an initial deployment of Nvidia's latest GB300 GPUs, providing compute capacity equivalent to more than 75,000 H100 GPUs on an AI inference basis."As the first 120 MW becomes fully operational, this capacity can scale to over 200,000 H100-equivalent GPUs," Ambani said, adding that the project would place Reliance among the largest AI infrastructure platforms being built anywhere in the world.The announcement comes as countries and companies globally race to secure computing capacity needed to train and deploy AI models, with access to advanced chips increasingly becoming a strategic priority.Ambani said Reliance is pursuing a partnership-led approach alongside building its own infrastructure. The company has expanded its collaboration with Google, making Google AI Pro powered by Gemini available free of cost to Jio users, while also partnering Meta to operationalise the Llama open-source AI ecosystem for Indian enterprises.Reliance Intelligence will provide sovereign hosting within India, offering enterprises model transparency, portability and control over their AI deployments, he said.The company also unveiled a suite of AI-powered applications designed for Indian users and businesses. These include Jio Bharat IQ, which Ambani described as an AI companion for every Indian; Jio AI Assistant for merchants and small businesses; JioHealth IQ for healthcare support; JioLearn IQ for education; and JioKrishi IQ for farmers.According to Ambani, all services are being built to operate across 22 Indian languages."Unlike global AI platforms that build in English and translate later, Jio is building AI natively in Indian languages," he said.Reliance is also integrating AI across its businesses. At Jio, AI-native network management is being used to improve efficiency and service quality. Reliance Retail is deploying AI-powered merchandising and supply chain optimisation tools, while JioStar is using AI for multilingual content creation. In the oil-to-chemicals business, AI-driven process optimisation is helping improve yields and reduce energy consumption.In one of the most consumer-facing announcements, Reliance unveiled an AI agent embedded directly into the Jio network. Users will be able to activate the assistant by saying "Hey Jio" during a phone call, without downloading a separate application.The AI agent can transcribe calls, identify up to 10 speakers in conference calls, generate summaries, reminders and action items, and share them with participants. It can also execute tasks such as booking cabs, ordering food, reserving restaurant tables and scheduling meetings."Every day, Jio carries over 20 billion minutes of voice traffic, making us one of the largest voice carriers in the world," Ambani said. "We asked a simple question: why should AI sit outside the place where Indians interact the most?"He said the service will be available in Indian languages and is designed to bring AI directly into the communication experience of millions of users."Just as Jio made data affordable for every Indian, Reliance Intelligence will disrupt AI economics by making it dramatically more affordable for every Indian," Ambani said.He added that Reliance is simultaneously building a world-class team of AI researchers and engineers, investing in India's AI startup ecosystem and collaborating with universities and research institutions as part of its broader AI push.In its FY26 annual report, Reliance Industries said it plans to invest ₹10 lakh crore to build multi-gigawatt AI-ready data centres, positioning the infrastructure as the compute backbone needed to power India's AI ambitions. Chairman Mukesh Ambani said Reliance had launched "Reliance Intelligence" with the goal of democratising access to artificial intelligence and making AI tools accessible across consumers, businesses and institutions.The push comes as Reliance increasingly seeks to leverage Jio's massive digital footprint to build AI services at scale. The telecom and digital services business ended FY26 with more than 524 million subscribers, including over 268 million 5G users and more than 27 million connected homes.Over the past year, Reliance has also stitched together a series of partnerships with global technology companies as it looks to establish itself across different layers of the AI stack.In August last year, Ambani announced a joint venture with Meta to develop enterprise AI solutions for India and select international markets. The venture, Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Ltd (REIL), combines Meta's open-source Llama models with Reliance's digital infrastructure and enterprise reach to build sector-specific AI products for businesses. Reliance and Meta have jointly invested ₹855 crore in the venture, with Reliance holding a 70% stake.The company has positioned the partnership as a way to bring enterprise-grade AI to Indian businesses at affordable costs while helping companies deploy AI across sales, customer service, finance and other functions.Reliance has simultaneously deepened its relationship with Google. During the year, the company expanded its partnership with Google Cloud and announced plans to develop cloud infrastructure at Jamnagar capable of supporting large-scale AI workloads. The facility is expected to serve enterprises, startups, developers and public sector organisations looking to build AI applications.On the consumer side, Reliance Intelligence partnered Google to offer millions of Jio users complimentary access to Google AI Pro services, including Gemini, signalling the company's ambitions to drive AI adoption through its telecom and digital ecosystem.The AI strategy is closely tied to Reliance's broader digital business, which spans telecom services, broadband, connected devices, entertainment, financial services and enterprise offerings. The company has repeatedly argued that its connectivity network, cloud infrastructure and distribution reach place it in a unique position to benefit from the next wave of AI-led digital growth.While oil-to-chemicals remains Reliance's largest business by revenue, digital services have become an increasingly important growth engine. The segment reported revenue of ₹1.76 lakh crore and EBITDA of ₹76,560 crore in FY26, underlining the scale from which Reliance plans to launch its AI ambitions.Mukesh Ambani in his letter to shareholders in Reliance's FY26 annual report described the company’s long-term vision as building AI platforms and digital infrastructure that are "designed in India, scaled in India and made accessible to every Indian".
