Amazon has outlined plans to invest a total of $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030, deepening its presence across artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure and ecommerce operations. The commitment includes an additional $13 billion earmarked to expand AI and cloud capacity in the country, building on a $35 billion investment across all its Indian businesses announced in 2025.
The new capital will be used to expand AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. According to the company, this will give startups, enterprises and government organizations access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure cloud technologies and developer tools designed to help them innovate, scale and serve customers globally. Amazon positions this expansion as part of a broader long-term strategy to support AI-led digitization in India.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on June 25, 2026, where he highlighted the growing importance of India for the company’s ecommerce, AI, cloud and entertainment businesses. Jassy said Amazon’s business priorities in India are aligned with national goals of democratizing access to AI, digitizing small businesses, creating jobs and enabling exports, and described the company as committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story.
Beyond cloud infrastructure, Amazon plans to expand its operations network that powers ecommerce and quick-commerce services in India. The company intends to launch more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 new last-mile delivery stations this year, aimed at speeding up deliveries nationwide, particularly in tier 3 and tier 4 cities. Amazon says it already runs one of the largest operations networks in the country, serving customers in every pin code.
The company also recently introduced “Sammaan,” a program offering benefits to thousands of delivery associates across India. The initiatives include scholarships for associates’ children, access to government benefits and financial inclusion programs, comprehensive insurance coverage and on-road safety measures. A portion of Amazon India’s recently announced $300 million investment in operations and associate well-being will be directed toward strengthening and scaling these initiatives.
Amazon expects its investment plans to support India’s economic growth and job creation. It reports that cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 now stand at over $88 billion. Since launch, the company says it has digitized 12 million small businesses, enabled over $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports, supported 2.8 million jobs and trained more than 10 million Indians on cloud skills. By 2030, Amazon has committed to supporting 3.8 million jobs, reaching $80 billion in cumulative exports, enabling AI benefits for 15 million small businesses and providing AI education for 4 million government school students. The company describes itself as the largest foreign investor in India, the largest enabler of ecommerce exports and one of the biggest job creators in the country.
