Mukesh Ambani’s Five Commitments at Vibrant Gujarat: A Blueprint for Gujarat’s Next Growth Leap

At the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for the Kutch and Saurashtra region, Mukesh D Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, delivered a deeply personal and forward-looking address that combined civilisational pride, regional commitment, and a bold roadmap for India’s economic future.

Speaking in the presence of Narendra Modi, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and senior state leadership, Ambani positioned Gujarat—particularly Saurashtra and Kutch—as the epicentre of India’s next phase of industrial, digital, and green transformation.

Opening his address with a resonant “Jai Somnath”, Ambani set a tone that blended faith, heritage, and national confidence, underscoring how Gujarat’s legacy and India’s future are increasingly intertwined.

A Regional Summit with National Significance

For the first time in two decades, the Vibrant Gujarat platform moved beyond Gandhinagar into a regional format, with Rajkot hosting the inaugural summit for Saurashtra and Kutch. Ambani described the moment as historic, calling the summit a “force multiplier” for the region’s all-round development.

He paid homage to Rajkot as a “Raja among Gujarat’s cities” and spoke emotionally about Saurashtra being the birthplace of his father, Dhirubhai Ambani, grounding Reliance’s ambitions in personal history and regional belonging.

“For Reliance, Gujarat is not just a location. Gujarat is our body, heart, and soul,” Ambani said, reaffirming the group’s long-standing association with the state.

The Modi Era: From Potential to Performance

In a strong endorsement of national leadership, Ambani credited Prime Minister Modi with restoring India’s civilisational self-belief and confidence.

According to him, the current decade will be remembered as a turning point when India transitioned decisively:

• From potential to performance

• From aspiration to action

• From a follower nation to a global force

He described the present phase as India’s defining decade, where economic resilience, strategic autonomy, and global relevance are converging under decisive leadership.

Reliance’s Five Commitments to Gujarat and India

At the core of Ambani’s address were five firm commitments that collectively outline one of the largest private-sector development agendas ever announced for a single Indian state.

1. Unprecedented Investment Scale: ₹7 Lakh Crore in Five Years

Reliance, already Gujarat’s largest investor, has invested over ₹3.5 lakh crore in the state over the past five years. Ambani announced that this figure will be doubled to ₹7 lakh crore over the next five years.

This investment thrust is expected to:

• Generate large-scale employment

• Create sustainable livelihoods

• Build long-term economic “sampatti” (wealth) for Gujarat and India

For MSMEs and ancillary industries, this signals massive opportunities in supply chains, services, manufacturing, logistics, and technology partnerships.

2. Global Leadership in Clean Energy and Green Materials

At Jamnagar, Reliance is developing what Ambani described as the world’s largest integrated clean energy ecosystem.

This ecosystem will span:

• Solar power

• Battery energy storage

• Green hydrogen

• Green fertilisers

• Sustainable aviation and maritime fuels

• Advanced green materials

Jamnagar—once India’s largest hub for hydrocarbon exports—is set to become India’s largest exporter of green energy and green materials, redefining the global perception of Indian manufacturing and sustainability leadership.

3. Transforming Kutch into a Global Clean Energy Hub

Reliance’s multi-gigawatt, utility-scale solar power project in Kutch ranks among the largest in the world. Designed for round-the-clock clean power through advanced storage and grid integration, the project will strengthen India’s renewable backbone.

For Gujarat, this cements leadership in renewable energy; for India, it reinforces energy security and climate commitments while opening avenues for green MSMEs, EPC players, and technology innovators.

4. Making Gujarat India’s Artificial Intelligence Pioneer

In a landmark digital announcement, Ambani revealed that Jamnagar will host India’s largest AI-ready data centre, built with a singular mission: Affordable AI for every Indian.

Through Jio Platforms, Reliance plans to launch a people-first intelligence platform:

• Built in India, for India and the world

• Accessible in Indian languages

• Available on everyday devices

• Designed to boost productivity for citizens, businesses, and governments

For MSMEs, this vision holds transformative potential—democratising AI tools for marketing, operations, finance, skilling, and customer engagement.

5. Partnering for India’s Olympic Dreams and Social Infrastructure

Aligning with the Prime Minister’s vision of bringing the 2036 Olympics to Ahmedabad, the Reliance Foundation has committed to supporting world-class sports infrastructure.

As a concrete step, Reliance will partner with the Gujarat Government to manage the Veer Savarkar Multi-Sports Complex in Naranpura, creating a hub for training future champions and hosting global events.

Additionally, Ambani announced:

• A world-class hospital in Jamnagar

• Multi-fold expansion of educational institutions in Saurashtra

These initiatives reinforce Reliance’s integrated approach to economic growth and social development.

Gujarat’s Growth as a National Sankalp

Ambani summed up Reliance’s philosophy in four defining lines:

• Big in vision

• Bold in execution

• Rooted in Gujarat

• Dedicated to the service of Bharat Mata

He also acknowledged global geopolitical uncertainties, stating that India’s internal strength, leadership stability, and economic momentum form an “invincible protective wall” against external turbulence.

What This Means for MSMEs and Entrepreneurs

For Gujarat’s MSMEs—and India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem—Ambani’s address is more than a corporate announcement. It is a signal of:

• Long-term policy and investment stability

• Expanding opportunities in clean energy, AI, infrastructure, healthcare, and sports

• Deepening integration of MSMEs into global value chains

Saurashtra and Kutch are no longer peripheral growth regions; they are being positioned as global engines of innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth.

A Defining Decade Begins from Gujarat

As the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Summit concluded, Ambani’s message was clear: India is not merely preparing for the future—it is shaping it. And from the historic soil of Saurashtra and Kutch, Indian industry is ready to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with national leadership in building that future.
