Amazon boosts Indian investment

Amazon has announced plans to invest an additional US$13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India, taking its total investment in the country to US$48 billion between 2026 and 2030.

This follows the 2025 announcement by Amazon of a US$35 billion investment across all its businesses in India.

The company says the additional US$13 billion will expand AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, thereby, Amazon says, giving startups, enterprises and government organisations access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure and reliable cloud technologies and developer tools to innovate faster, scale further and serve customers globally.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met the Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on June 25 in New Delhi and highlighted the growing importance of India, where Amazon operates several businesses, including ecommerce, AI and cloud, and entertainment among others.

In addition to expanding AI and cloud infrastructure, Amazon says it will continue investing in the operations network powering its ecommerce and quick commerce business in India.

The company plans to launch more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 new last-mile delivery stations this year alone, bringing faster deliveries to customers nationwide.

Amazon says its cumulative investments in India from 2010-2030 now stand at over US$88 billion, making it the largest foreign investor in India, the largest enabler of ecommerce exports, and one of the biggest job creators in the country.

As Reuters points out, the country's emergence as a strategic hub for cloud, AI and deep-tech growth has attracted investment from a number of other tech companies.

Microsoft has pledged a US$17.5 billion investment in India for AI and cloud infrastructure, while Google has committed US$15 billion over the next five years to build AI data centres.
