Amazon has announced plans to invest a total of $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030, reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of its fastest-growing global markets. The latest announcement includes an additional $13 billion earmarked for artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure, building on the company’s previously announced $35 billion investment plan.
The investment was announced after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, where the company reiterated its focus on supporting India’s digital transformation and economic growth.
Additional Investment Targets AI and Cloud Infrastructure
Amazon said the fresh $13 billion investment will primarily expand Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The company plans to increase data centre capacity to provide startups, enterprises, developers, and government organisations with greater access to AI services, custom AI chips, cloud computing, and software development tools.
With this announcement, Amazon’s planned investment in AI and cloud infrastructure alone exceeds $21 billion between 2026 and 2030. The company said the expansion is intended to meet the growing demand for cloud services and AI-powered applications across industries.
Expansion Across E-commerce Operations
Beyond cloud infrastructure, Amazon also plans to strengthen its e-commerce network across the country. The company will open more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 new delivery stations during the year to improve logistics capacity and delivery speeds.
Amazon stated that the investments are designed to support sellers, small businesses, customers, and developers while improving operational efficiency across its various businesses in India.
India Remains a Strategic Market
According to Amazon, its cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 will exceed $88 billion. The company highlighted that it has already digitised around 12 million small businesses, enabled more than $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, supported approximately 2.8 million jobs, and trained over 10 million people in cloud skills.
Industry analysts note that India’s rapidly expanding digital economy, rising AI adoption, and growing cloud demand continue to attract significant investments from global technology companies.
Growing Competition in AI Infrastructure
Amazon’s latest commitment comes amid increasing investments by global technology firms in India’s AI and cloud ecosystem. Companies including Microsoft and Google have also announced multi-billion-dollar investments aimed at expanding data centres and AI infrastructure across the country.
As demand for cloud computing, generative AI, and digital services continues to grow, India’s technology infrastructure is expected to witness further investments from both domestic and international players.
Amazon’s expanded investment plan signals its continued confidence in India’s long-term growth prospects. By strengthening cloud infrastructure, expanding logistics operations, and supporting digital innovation, the company aims to deepen its presence across multiple business segments while contributing to the country’s evolving digital economy.
