Amazon announced on June 25, 2026 that it will invest an additional $13 billion to expand its artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in India through 2030, bringing its total investment commitments in the country to $48 billion.
The announcement came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The new funding will go toward expanding Amazon Web Services data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
This marks Amazon’s third major investment commitment for India in as many years. The company pledged $15 billion in 2023 — including $12.7 billion for AWS — following a similar meeting between Jassy and Modi, and then committed over $35 billion in December 2025. Amazon has not detailed how the full $48 billion will be deployed across its India businesses, and long-term commitments of this kind typically include both capital and operating expenditures rather than new infrastructure spending alone.
The investment reflects a broader trend of global technology companies expanding AI infrastructure in India. Microsoft announced in December it would invest $17.5 billion in India by 2029, and Google said in October it would spend $15 billion on an AI hub and data center infrastructure in the country. India has also drawn commitments from AirTrunk, CPP Investments, Reliance Industries, and Adani Group for data center projects. New Delhi has supported this influx through policy incentives, including tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers on services sold overseas when run from Indian data centers.
Beyond cloud infrastructure, Amazon is also expanding its retail and logistics operations in India. The company plans to open more than 20 fulfillment centers and over 100 last-mile delivery stations this year. It also announced plans to extend its quick-commerce service, Amazon Now, to more than 300 cities and towns, as it competes with Blinkit, Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, and Flipkart in India’s quick-commerce market.
