New Delhi: Amazon has announced a massive investment commitment of $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030, reinforcing the country’s growing importance as a global hub for digital innovation, AI, cloud computing, and e-commerce. The announcement was made by Amazon President and CEO Andy Jassy following his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday.
The investment includes a fresh commitment of $13 billion aimed at expanding Amazon’s AI and cloud infrastructure in India by the end of the decade. This comes in addition to the $35 billion investment plan that the company had announced previously, taking Amazon’s total planned investment in the country over the next five years to $48 billion.
Sharing details of the commitment on social media platform X, Jassy said Amazon would invest heavily in advanced technology infrastructure, including AI and cloud services, to support India’s rapidly growing digital economy. He noted that the company’s priorities align closely with India’s goals of promoting technological self-reliance, digital transformation, job creation, and export growth.
According to Amazon, the additional $13 billion investment will primarily support the expansion of Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the Mumbai and Hyderabad regions. The company said the upgraded facilities will provide startups, enterprises, developers, and government organizations with access to advanced AI tools, custom AI chips, managed AI services, and secure cloud technologies.
Amazon highlighted that its AWS regions in India allow customers to store data securely within the country while benefiting from cutting-edge technologies such as Trainium AI chips and Amazon Bedrock, the company’s AI development platform. These investments are expected to accelerate innovation, help businesses scale operations more efficiently, and strengthen India’s position in the global technology landscape.
During the announcement, Jassy expressed appreciation for Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and said Amazon remains committed to supporting the vision of a “Viksit Bharat” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat.” He emphasized that India has emerged as one of Amazon’s most significant growth markets, with strong demand across its e-commerce, AI, cloud, and digital services businesses.
With the latest commitment, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India from 2010 to 2030 is expected to exceed $88 billion. The company also indicated that the investments would contribute to employment generation and broader economic development.
Amazon’s announcement comes amid increasing investments by global technology giants in India. Microsoft has pledged $17.5 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure projects in the country, while Google has committed $15 billion over the next five years to develop AI-focused data centers and related infrastructure. The trend underscores India’s growing role as a strategic destination for next-generation technology investments and digital innovation.
