Mukesh Ambani flew from Mumbai to Delhi on June 7, 2026, aboard his Boeing 737 MAX 9 (VT-AKV). The one-hour-and-twenty-one-minute hop, tracked by flight data, arrived that evening.

The trip coincided with the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, where Ambani announced that Reliance Jio will invest up to 10 trillion rupees ($110 billion) over seven years to build India’s AI infrastructure, per a report from Mint. “India cannot afford to rent AI,” he said at the event, emphasizing nation-building capital over valuation chasing.

The flight continues Ambani’s pattern of using the $120-million jet for high-profile business engagements. In recent months, VT-AKV has shuttled between Mumbai, Hong Kong, and various Indian cities, including a series of trips to the new Navi Mumbai airport in May — likely related to the family’s sprawling properties and Reliance’s expanding footprint.
