Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani on Sunday announced that the conglomerate will double its investment in Gujarat, to Rs 7 lakh crores, over the next five years.

He announced five firm commitments for Gujarat, at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for Kutch and Saurashtra Region in Rajkot.

"First, investment at unprecedented scale. Reliance is already Gujarat's largest investor. In the last five years, we have invested over Rs 3.5 lakh crores," he said.

The second commitment is to make Gujarat a global leadership in clean energy and green materials.

"At Jamnagar, we are building the world's largest integrated clean energy ecosystem, spanning solar, battery energy storage, green hydrogen, green fertilizer, sustainable aviation fuel, and maritime fuels, and advanced materials. These are not only industries of the future, they are foundations of India's prosperous tomorrow. Jamnagar, once the largest hydrocarbon energy exporter, will in the coming years become India's largest exporter of green energy and material, from Gujarat," he said.

Third, he vowed to transform the Kutch region into a global clean energy hub.

"Our multi-gigawatt utility scale solar project, among the world's largest, will deliver round-the-clock clean power through advanced storage and modern grid integration, powering India's green future,and reinforcing Gujarat's leadership in renewables," Mukesh Ambani said.

He vowed to make Gujarat India's artificial intelligence pioneer.

"In Jamnagar, we are building India's largest artificial intelligence-ready data centre with a single goal -- affordable AI for every Indian," Mukesh Ambani said.

Fifth, he said, Reliance will partner with Gujarat for India's Olympic ambitions.

"The Reliance Foundation stands ready to serve the Prime Minister's vision of bringing 2036 Olympics to Ahmedabad. As a concrete step, Reliance will partner with the Gujarat government to manage the Veer Savarkar Multisports Complex in Naranpura, a hub for hosting national and international events and training India's future champions. We are also establishing a world-class hospital in Jamnagar in Saurashtra and expanding our education facilities multifold," he said.

Very ambitious plans. The AI platform for every Indian in their own language sounds revolutionary. Hope it truly reaches the common man and small businesses, not just urban elites. The cost and digital literacy will be key challenges.

Gujarat is getting all the big projects! Happy for the development, but what about other states? Need balanced growth across India. Also, hope these green energy projects create sustainable local jobs for people in Kutch and Saurashtra, not just temporary construction work.

The scale is mind-boggling. Transforming Jamnagar from a hydrocarbon hub to a green energy exporter is a strategic masterstroke. If they pull this off, it sets a global benchmark. The Olympics partnership is the cherry on top!

Promises are good, but execution is everything. We've seen big announcements before. The proof will be in the actual jobs created, the environmental impact of these mega-projects, and the real affordability of that AI for my chaiwala bhaiya. Cautiously optimistic.

The hospital and education expansion in Saurashtra is the most heartening part. Infrastructure for sports and healthcare improves quality of life directly. Hope the AI data centre also leads to tech education and startups sprouting in Gujarat beyond just Ahmedabad.
