Amazon has announced a major expansion of its India strategy, committing an additional $13 billion investment by 2030, taking its total planned investment in the country to $48 billion over the next five years. The announcement came after Amazon chief executive officer Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.
The new investment will primarily focus on artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, with more than $21 billion allocated to strengthen Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities in India. The company said the expansion will significantly enhance data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling wider access to AI tools, cloud services, and advanced computing infrastructure for start-ups, enterprises, and government institutions.
Amazon stated that its cumulative investment in India between 2010 and 2030 is expected to exceed $88 billion. The company also projected that its initiatives could help generate around 3.8 million jobs, support $80 billion in e-commerce exports, and extend AI-driven benefits to millions of small businesses and educational institutions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the announcement, noting that it reflects growing global investor confidence in India’s digital economy and will create new opportunities for youth.
Beyond technology infrastructure, Amazon also plans to expand its logistics network, including more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 delivery stations. The company is further scaling its quick-commerce operations across more than 300 cities to strengthen last-mile delivery and meet rising demand in smaller markets.
