Amazon announces $48 billion investment in India by 2030

Amazon has announced an additional $13 billion investment to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India, bringing its planned investment in the country to $48 billion between 2026 and 2030.

The company said the new funding will expand AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, giving startups, enterprises and government organisations access to AI chips, managed AI services, cloud technologies and developer tools.

The announcement builds on a $35 billion investment across Amazon’s businesses in India announced in 2025. Amazon said its cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 now stand at more than $88 billion.

Beyond AI and cloud infrastructure, Amazon said it will continue investing in its e-commerce and logistics network. The company plans to launch more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 last-mile delivery stations across India this year, with a focus on faster deliveries in smaller cities.

Amazon said it has digitised 12 million small businesses in India, supported 2.8 million jobs, enabled more than $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports and trained more than 10 million people in cloud skills.

The company said its long-term priorities in India include AI-led digitisation, export growth and job creation.

Why does it matter?

Amazon’s investment highlights India’s growing role as a major market for AI infrastructure, cloud services and digital commerce. Expanding AWS capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad could strengthen access to AI compute and cloud tools for businesses, startups and public-sector organisations. The announcement also shows how global technology companies are linking data centre investment with national priorities such as small-business digitisation, skills development, exports and job creation.
