Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How India approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in India.

Where it sits

Gujarat holds 3 active projects with 538 MW of planned IT load between them, and Reliance Jamnagar Meta build-to-suit ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 3 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Gujarat, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Reliance has 1 other in India tracked by ArusGrid, including Reliance Intelligence Jamnagar AI data centre (phase 1). It sits on the Reliance Jamnagar AI campus alongside Reliance Intelligence Jamnagar AI data centre (phase 1). Named funding comes from Reliance Industries on the equity side. The named user of the compute is Meta (confirmed).

The stage was recorded as announced only on 10 June 2026. Power comes from Reliance Industries Ltd (reported, unconfirmed).

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 11 June 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$948m to US$1.4bn

No figure has been announced. This range is 168 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$6.64 per watt for Mumbai, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.

Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.
