Jabil Inc. announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat state government. This agreement follows an MoU signing with the Tamil Nadu state in September 2024.

The two MoUs reflect Jabil’s intentions to expand its footprint in India and will allow the company to explore long-term goals, opportunities and support with both states.

“Jabil is committed to expanding in India to meet and grow with the future needs of our customers in the Intelligent Infrastructure segment, which covers our capabilities across cloud, compute, storage, networking, telecommunications, semiconductor capital equipment, and data center infrastructure, amongst other end-markets,” Fred McCoy, EVP, operations, said. “The planned expansion also opens up opportunities for Jabil’s customers in the automotive and transportation industry to consider manufacturing in India.”

In recent months, the Intelligent Infrastructure segment has made investments to drive further innovation and support the increasing demands of next-wave cloud and AI data center growth. These include silicon photonics-based products and capabilities, liquid cooling solutions for thermal management, and an expanded server portfolio purpose-built for scalability. 

“Beyond attracting foreign direct investments and job creation, this MoU reflects our shared ambitions to pursue sustainable growth and create long-term value. We are excited at this opportunity to work with Jabil to explore new avenues for long-term growth together,” said Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel.
