Dhirubhai Ambani BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
I need to clarify something important: Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Industries, passed away in 2002. There are no recent developments, news stories, or public appearances involving him personally, as he has been deceased for over two decades.
However, his legacy continues to dominate headlines through his sons and the business empire he built. The most significant recent news involves the Reliance group companies founded in his name.
Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries announced major progress on the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, named after the company founder. According to reports from the Economic Times and other sources, the company plans to begin solar power generation in the first half of fiscal year 2027 from its massive renewable energy project in Kutch, Gujarat. This project spans 550,000 acres, roughly three times the size of Singapore, and represents a 1.5 lakh crore rupee investment in clean energy.
The scale is staggering. At this year's annual shareholder meeting, Anant Ambani described a facility four times larger than Tesla's Gigafactory, using enough steel to build one hundred Eiffel Towers and cables long enough to reach the moon and back. The complex will produce solar panels, batteries, and green hydrogen as Reliance Industries pushes toward net zero carbon emissions by 2035.
Meanwhile, Dhirubhai's other son Anil Ambani faces serious legal troubles. The Enforcement Directorate recently registered a money laundering case involving alleged bank fraud of 2,929 crore rupees against State Bank of India, with investigations expanding to examine loans totaling 17,000 crore rupees across multiple Reliance ADA Group companies. The Securities and Exchange Board of India imposed a 25 crore rupee fine and five year market ban on Anil Ambani in August 2025.
So while Dhirubhai Ambani himself has no recent activities, his name remains central to India's biggest corporate stories, from ambitious renewable energy projects transforming his first son's empire to financial controversies engulfing his second son's collapsed business ventures.
