Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Sunday announced a major expansion of the group’s investments in Gujarat, pledging to double the company’s commitment to the state to ₹7 lakh crore over the next five years. Speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for Kutch and Saurashtra, Ambani strongly praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, calling him an “invincible protective wall” for India amid global uncertainty.

Addressing the gathering in the presence of Prime Minister Modi, Ambani said Reliance has already invested ₹3.5 lakh crore in Gujarat over the past five years, making it the state’s largest investor.
