Metaの168MWインド賭けは米国の電力網ボトルネックを回避
Metaは、AIモデルのトレーニングと展開のためにグジャラート州で168MWのデータセンターを手がけるRelianceと提携した。テック大手が電力網の制約された市場を避け、急速に拡大するインドのインフラへ向かう転換を示している。
meta signed its first ai infrastructure agreement in india with reliance industries, leasing capacity for a 168-megawatt data center in jamnagar to support global ai training and deployment. the facility will run on 100% renewable energy and cooled with desalinated seawater, with meta covering all operational energy and water costs. this move deepens the tie-up that began with metas $5.7 billion investment in jio platforms, positioning reliance as a key infrastructure provider for global tech giants. as indias data center capacity is projected to quintuple to 8 gigawatts by 2030, this deal validates the countrys strategy to attract ai workloads through policy incentives and massive capacity expansions.
