Amazon.com Inc. expanded its India investment on June 25, 2026, announcing an increase in its multi-year commitment through 2030 to deepen AWS cloud and AI infrastructure in the country. The company aims to enhance its cloud capabilities for regional AI workloads while supporting jobs and exports.
Scale, Allocation, and Ecosystem Commitments
Amazon said in a press release it will invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030, raising its 2026–2030 plan from $35 billion to $48 billion and lifting cumulative investment since 2010 to more than $88 billion. Over $21 billion of the five-year plan will focus on AI and cloud infrastructure, including the new increment. The remainder will support Amazon’s e-commerce, logistics, operations, and quick-commerce businesses in India.
The company set ecosystem targets tied to this program through 2030: supporting 3.8 million direct and indirect jobs, enabling $80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, bringing AI tools to 15 million small businesses, and providing AI education to 4 million government-school students.
Near-term logistics and workforce initiatives include launching more than 20 new fulfillment centers and opening over 100 new delivery stations across India this year, emphasizing Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities. A recently announced $300 million investment in India operations and associate well-being will partially fund these efforts.
The announcement followed CEO Andy Jassy’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Jassy said, "As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities continue to align with India’s priorities of democratizing access to AI, digitizing small businesses, creating jobs, and enabling exports." Amazon noted it has already invested about $40 billion in India since 2010 and supported roughly 2.8 million jobs as of 2024, framing the expanded plan as part of a long-term partnership with India’s growth agenda.
AWS Expansion and AI Infrastructure
The additional capital will expand AWS data centers in India, focusing on Mumbai and Hyderabad to meet growing regional demand for cloud and AI workloads. These AWS regions will offer customers access to custom AI chips, including Trainium, managed AI services such as Amazon Bedrock, and secure cloud technologies and developer tools.
Amazon positioned the investment as strengthening AWS’s platform for local AI workloads and making it one of the largest global AI and cloud infrastructure investors in India. The company described India as a significant cloud and AI hub and one of its fastest-growing markets, with strong demand across e-commerce, AI, and cloud services.
