Reliance Industries will build AI infrastructure in Jamnagar within a record 24 months, making the city the global leader in this domain, said Akash Ambani, director at RIL, at an event commemorating the 25th anniversary of the company’s Jamnagar Refinery.
Speaking at the event, Akash said: “The AI infrastructure that we have commenced working in Jamnagar will make not only Jamnagar a leader in AI infrastructure, but will also place it amongst the top ranked in the world, ” Ambani said .
He said that they have already begun building the AI infrastructure in Jamnagar and aim to complete it in true Jamnagar style, within a record 24 months, as they have consistently done in the city.
“On behalf of Isha, Anant and myself, we commit to you that we will grow our Reliance together and make sure that Jamnagar will always be the jewel of our Reliance family. What I want to also say, it is our goal in the new information and technology age to make Jamnagar a leader of the world,” he said.
The company launched its first refinery in Jamnagar on December 28, 1999, and completed 25 years on December 29 of last year.
Leading world-class project consultants advised Dhirubhai Ambani against investing in the desert-like region that did not have roads, electricity, or even sufficient drinking water. They had warned that mobilising manpower, materials, technical experts and every other input in such wilderness would require extraordinary efforts.
Dhirubhai defied all the naysayers and went ahead with his dream. He wanted to create not just an industrial plant but a Nandanwan. Between 1996 and 1999, he and his highly motivated team went on to create an engineering marvel at Jamnagar.
The Jamnagar refinery complex is home to some of the world’s largest units, including the Fluidised Catalytic Cracker (FCC), Coker, Alkylation, Paraxylene, Polypropylene, Refinery Off-Gas Cracker (ROGC), and Petcoke gasification plants.
