Amazon has announced plans to invest an extra $13 billion to expand artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in India, bringing its total investment to $48 billion between 2026 and 2030.
The company announced that the funds will be used to increase AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The announcement follows a meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday. In an Amazon press release, Jassy said, “For over a decade, we have been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises through our different businesses. The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses.”
“As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities align with India’s priorities of democratizing access to AI, digitizing small businesses, creating jobs, and enabling exports, and we are investing over $48 billion in the coming five years to meet the strong demand across our business in India and to help India achieve these priorities. We are inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat, we are committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story.”
In addition to expanding AI and cloud infrastructure, Amazon will continue investing in the operations network that supports its ecommerce and quick commerce business in India. The company plans to launch more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 new last-mile delivery stations this year, enabling faster deliveries for customers across the country, especially in tier 3 and 4 cities.
In December, Amazon announced a $35 billion investment to expand its presence in the Indian market. The company said its total investment in India between 2010 and 2030 stands at $88 billion.
