Mukesh Ambani lands in Jamnagar on a brief business trip

Mukesh Ambani flew from Mumbai to Jamnagar on June 1, 2026, in his Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ, completing the 43-minute hop in the early evening. The aircraft, VT-AKV, is India's first MAX 9 BBJ and underwent over $120 million in customization after delivery in August 2024.

Jamnagar is home to Reliance Industries' massive petroleum refinery complex—the world's largest at a single location—and the Ambani family's private estate. The destination is a recurring stop in Ambani's travel patterns, often tied to board meetings, refinery operations, or family gatherings. Last year, the city hosted the lavish pre-wedding gala for his son Anant, drawing global billionaires.

The short Mumbai–Jamnagar route is a staple for Ambani, who routinely shuttles between his Antilia skyscraper and this western Gujarat outpost. With Reliance's sprawling energy and retail interests, these quick trips underscore the hands-on oversight of India's most valuable company by its chairman.
