Reliance Industries plans massive ecosystem in Navi Mumbai, including data centres and logistics

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries is planning massive investments in Navi Mumbai, to set up an industrial township that will have an entire ecosystem consisting of industries, logistics infrastructuredata centres, retail, and other infrastructure to support the ecosystem, sources said. The infrastructure will be built  in Navi Mumbai IIA Pvt Ltd, an entity set up by the Maharashtra government in 2004 to develop an integrated industrial area, spread over an area of over 5,000 acres. It was designated as a Special Planning Authority by the state government.

Last year, RIL acquired a 74 per cent stake in Navi Mumbai IIA Pvt Ltd from Dronagiri Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, a 99.97 per cent subsidiary of  Urban Infrastructure Holdings, in which Jai Corp held 32 per cent stake and promoter group of RIL held 33 per cent. RIL had acquired the stake for a modest ₹1,628 crore. The remaining stake of 26 per cent stake is held by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), which waived its right of first refusal for a majority stake.

Insiders said that RIL is in the process of drawing up a blueprint for its plans. This will be done in close collaboration with the state government, which is looking for support from the conglomerate to develop the zone, which was designated an SEZ. The proposed development will also include hotels and convention centres, so that it will become a self-contained hub.

RIL did not respond to an email sent seeking comment on the proposed investments.

Last week, in Davos, Switzerland, the state government signed a memorandum of understanding with RIL for investments worth over ₹3 lakh crore in the state, across sectors including manufacturing, new energy, retail, and hospitality.

Sources said that a significant part of this investment will be in NMIIA, which has the advantages of being in close proximity to Nariman Point, via the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link, as well as being near Jawaharlal Nehru Port and the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport. The location of the NMIIA is on the Pune-Mumbai-Thane corridor.
