New Delhi: Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani on Wednesday said that his company “was, is and will always remain a Gujarati firm”. He added that he’s a “proud Gujarati”. He was speaking at the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in Gandhinagar. His company will help Gujarat meet half of the energy target, he added.

“Reliance has invested over Rs 12 lakh crore in creating world class assets and capacities across India in the last 10 years. Of this, more than one-third has been invested in Gujarat alone,” said Ambani.

“Reliance will continue to play a leading role in Gujarat’s growth story with significant investments in the next 10 years. Specifically, Reliance will contribute to making Gujarat a global leader in green growth. We will help Gujarat target to meet half of its energy needs through renewable energy by 2030,” he added.

Elaborating on the plans, the Reliance boss said, “For this, we have started building the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex over 5,000 acres in Jamnagar. This will generate a large number of green jobs and enable production of green products and materials, and will make Gujarat the leading exporter of green products. We are ready to commission this in the second half of 2024 itself.”
