Amazon announced on Thursday that it will invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030 to bolster its artificial intelligence and cloud computing capabilities. This significant capital infusion will primarily fund the expansion of Amazon Web Services' (AWS) data center infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The latest commitment follows previous major investments, including $15 billion announced in 2023 and another $35 billion pledged in December 2025, bringing Amazon's total investment pledges in India to $48 billion. The announcement was made after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
This move by Amazon is part of a broader trend where global technology companies are increasing their investments in India, viewing it as a crucial hub for the computing infrastructure required to power AI technologies. Microsoft has committed $17.5 billion by 2029, and Google plans to invest $15 billion to establish an AI hub and data center infrastructure in the country.
India has been actively attracting billions in data center investments from various entities, including Australia's AirTrunk, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board's CPP Investments, and domestic conglomerates like Reliance Industries and Adani Group. The Indian government is supporting these investments through policy incentives, such as tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers on services hosted in Indian data centers.
Beyond its AI and cloud infrastructure expansion, Amazon is also strengthening its domestic retail and logistics network. The company plans to open over 20 fulfillment centers and more than 100 last-mile delivery stations this year. Additionally, Amazon is expanding its quick-commerce service, Amazon Now, to over 300 cities and towns, intensifying competition in a market that includes rivals like Blinkit, Swiggy's Instamart, Zepto, and Walmart-owned Flipkart.
