Meta has leased data center capacity from Reliance in India to enhance its AI infrastructure.
Meta has entered into a lease agreement with Reliance Industries to utilize computing capacity at a new AI-focused data center located in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India.
The data center will initially boast a capacity of 168 MW, with Reliance overseeing its design, construction, and operation, including the supply of renewable energy. Meta's lease includes an option for future expansions.
The facility is designed to operate on renewable energy, utilizing desalinated seawater for cooling its systems. Meta will be responsible for all associated costs for electricity and water at the site.
Set to become operational within two years, this data center aims to enhance Meta's global AI infrastructure, targeting one of the world's fastest-growing markets.
In conjunction with this development, Meta also announced agreements for nearly 1 GW of new renewable energy capacity in India through collaborations with CleanMax and Fourth Partner Energy, which will support the Jamnagar facility's energy needs.
This new agreement strengthens the ongoing partnership between Meta and Reliance, which began in 2020 when Meta invested $5.7 billion in Jio Platforms. Since then, the companies have expanded their collaboration into areas such as digital services and corporate AI.
Additionally, in April 2026, Meta started gathering data on employee actions to enhance its AI training initiatives.
