“Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence: Isha Ambani-Piramal Reflects on Jamnagar Refinery’s Legacy and Vision”

Jamnagar (Gujarat), January 2 – The Jamnagar Refinery, one of the world’s largest and most advanced refineries, celebrated its 25th anniversary with grandeur, as employees and their families gathered to commemorate the milestone. The event was marked by a heartfelt address from Isha Ambani-Piramal, Director of Reliance Industries Limited, who reflected on the journey of the refinery and its profound legacy.

The Jamnagar Refinery, envisioned by the visionary founder of Reliance Industries, Dhirubhai Ambani, was brought to life under the determined leadership of Mukesh Ambani. Today, it stands not only as a symbol of India’s industrial capabilities but also as a testament to the power of dreams and resilience.

In her speech, Isha Ambani-Piramal expressed a deep emotional connection to the refinery’s journey. “As we celebrate 25 years of Jamnagar, I feel my grandfather’s presence and miss him dearly. This was his cherished dream, a vision that lived in his heart. He would have been so proud to see what Jamnagar has become today,” she said, stirring feelings of nostalgia and pride among the attendees.

She spoke about her father, Mukesh Ambani, lauding his steadfast dedication to realizing Dhirubhai Ambani’s vision. “I’ve witnessed my father’s absolute dedication to making his father’s dream a reality. This is my father, Shri Mukeshbhai Ambani—a man of vision, a man of resilience, and a man of determination. For him, there is no greater duty than Reliance, and nothing is more significant than fulfilling his father’s dreams. His values are the compass, guiding every decision, every effort, and every triumph,” she remarked, paying tribute to his leadership and personal values.

Isha also acknowledged her father’s role as a source of inspiration, not just as a businessman but as a family man and a humanitarian. “Jamnagar and you have shown us that nothing is impossible when we come together with unity, passion, and purpose. Jamnagar is paradise, and we are so lucky to call it our home,” she added.

Recalling her childhood memories, Isha fondly reflected on the transformation of the Jamnagar township, which began as barren land and was developed into a green, vibrant community under the leadership of her mother. “I still remember coming here with my mother when she started making this township. Standing on barren land, I watched her work tirelessly to turn it into a lush, beautiful place,” she shared, evoking admiration for her mother’s efforts.

Since its inception in 1999, the Jamnagar Refinery has been a cornerstone of India’s industrial success story. Its contributions to the nation’s energy security and economic growth underscore its significance. Over the years, the refinery has evolved into a global benchmark for innovation, scale, and execution.

The 25th anniversary celebration not only honored the past but also reaffirmed Reliance Industries’ commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving excellence. The Jamnagar Refinery continues to inspire, proving that with vision, determination, and unity, monumental achievements are possible.
