Jamnagar will be platform for long-term growth for future generations: Mukesh Ambani

Reliance Industries (RIL) chairman Mukesh Ambani

Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Ltd, said that Jamnagar in Gujarat will be a platform for long-term growth for its employees and future generations, not just for Reliance.

"Jamnagar is not only the best oil refinery in the world, it has the biggest gigafactory in the world, the biggest solar energy and fourth is the world's artificial intelligence infrastructure. Besides, the digital factory will also be in Jamnagar," Ambani said, while addressing his employees during an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the company's flagship refinery in Jamnagar.

"It sets a platform, which will be a platform for growth for the next many decades, for all of you, for your children," he said.

The company said it is also developing artificial intelligence infrastructure in Jamnagar, which is considered as a jewel for the Reliance family. Moreover, the RIL chief talked about Jamnagar's role in nature conservation, through the Reliance Foundation's Vantara initiative.

The Vantara program, which was launched in February 2024, focuses on the rescue, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of injured, abused, and threatened animals both in India and abroad. The program spans 3,000 acres within the Green Belt of the Jamnagar Refinery Complex and aims to be a leading contributor to global conservation efforts.

Reliance's Jamnagar refinery, the conglomerate's first, celebrated its 25th anniversary on December 28, 2024. The facility has since become the world's refining hub and an engineering marvel.

Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance, defied the warnings of project consultants who advised against setting up the refinery in such a remote area. His vision was not merely to build an industrial plant but to create a thriving, self-sustaining complex.
