Amazon said it will invest an additional $13 billion in India to expand its artificial intelligence and cloud footprint through 2030. The company stated the funding will support expansion of Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The announcement followed a meeting in New Delhi between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is Amazon’s third sizeable India commitment in recent years: after the 2023 Jassy–Modi meeting the company pledged $15 billion by 2030 (including $12.7 billion for AWS), and in December 2025 it announced a further commitment of over $35 billion.
With the new $13 billion pledge, Amazon’s total investment commitments in India now stand at $48 billion. The company has not specified how that $48 billion will be allocated across its Indian businesses; long‑term technology commitments typically include both capital and operating expenditures rather than only new infrastructure spending.
The move comes amid a wave of international technology investments betting that India will become a major hub for the computing infrastructure needed to power AI products. Microsoft said in December it would invest $17.5 billion in India by 2029, and Google said in October it would spend $15 billion to build an AI hub and data center infrastructure in the country.
India has also drawn data center project commitments from investors including Australia’s AirTrunk, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s CPP Investments, and domestic conglomerates Reliance Industries and Adani Group.
New Delhi has offered policy incentives to attract more investment, including tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers on services sold overseas if those workloads are run from Indian data centers.
Retail and logistics expansion
In addition to cloud and AI infrastructure, Amazon is increasing investment in its domestic retail and logistics network. This year the company plans to open more than 20 fulfillment centers and over 100 last‑mile delivery stations. Amazon also detailed plans to expand its quick‑commerce service, Amazon Now, to more than 300 cities and towns across India.
The expansion aims to strengthen Amazon’s position in India’s crowded quick commerce market, where it competes with Eternal‑owned Blinkit, Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, and Walmart‑owned Flipkart. Flipkart has said it plans to open 1,500 micro‑fulfillment centers across the country by the end of 2026.
Why this matters
Amazon’s additional $13 billion commitment underscores the company’s view of India as a strategic market for AI and cloud infrastructure. While the headline figure is sizable, the lack of detail about how funds will be deployed means the timing, scope and local economic impacts of the investments will become clearer only over the coming years.
