Reliance–Meta AI Data Center (Jamnagar)
Announced; Meta Platforms, Inc. is recorded as the lessee of the property, and no source here establishes who holds or runs the site
Announced 2026-06-10 jointly by Meta and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). Reliance builds and owns the facility; Meta leases capacity — "Reliance will build a data center with 168 MW capacity, which Meta will lease" (Meta newsroom, verbatim). Phase 1 delivers 168 MW with an option to scale. Located in Jamnagar, Gujarat (no more precise address disclosed). Powered by renewable energy and cooled using desalinated seawater per RIL's own release; Meta states it "will cover the full cost of the energy and water supporting the facility." Expected completion "within two years" of the June 2026 announcement (~2028) — no hard date disclosed by either party. Described as Meta's first built-to-suit India capacity. NOT a joint venture for the data-center asset itself (the separate Reliance-Meta JV is an unrelated enterprise-AI/Llama vehicle).

Methods and sources
Ownership roles
Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.
Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.
Parent companies
Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.
Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.
Missing values
Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.
Publication limits
Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.
