Amazon has announced plans to invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030, reinforcing its commitment to the country’s rapidly expanding AI and cloud computing sectors.
The investment will be directed towards expanding Amazon Web Services’ data centre infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad, strengthening the company’s ability to meet rising demand for cloud services and AI-powered applications.
The announcement followed a meeting between Amazon Chief Executive Andy Jassy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
The latest commitment builds on Amazon’s previously announced investment plans in India. The company had pledged more than $35 billion for the country in December 2025 and earlier committed $15 billion in 2023. With the new funding, Amazon’s total investment commitments in India now stand at $48 billion.
The move reflects growing confidence among major technology companies that India will become a critical hub for the infrastructure needed to support the global AI boom. Demand for data centres, cloud computing capacity and advanced digital services has surged as businesses and governments increasingly adopt artificial intelligence technologies.
Amazon is not alone in making large-scale bets on India’s digital future. Microsoft has committed $17.5 billion to AI and cloud infrastructure projects in the country, while Google has pledged $15 billion over five years to expand data centre capacity and AI-related operations.
India has also attracted substantial investment from infrastructure and institutional investors seeking exposure to the data centre sector. The country is emerging as a preferred destination for global technology companies due to its large digital population, growing internet economy and government efforts to attract technology investment through policy incentives and tax benefits.
Beyond cloud and AI infrastructure, Amazon is continuing to expand its broader operations in India. The company plans to open more than 20 fulfilment centres and over 100 last-mile delivery stations this year as it strengthens its logistics network and e-commerce capabilities.
The expansion comes as Amazon seeks to increase its presence in India’s highly competitive quick-commerce market, where it faces strong competition from domestic and international rivals. Earlier this week, the company outlined plans to expand its Amazon Now service to more than 300 cities and towns across the country.
For Amazon, the latest investment is about more than infrastructure. It represents a long-term bet that India will play a central role in the future of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital commerce. As global technology firms race to build the computing capacity required for the next generation of AI applications, India is increasingly becoming one of the industry’s most important battlegrounds.
