Amazon has announced plans to significantly expand its India investments, with CEO Andy Jassy meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his current visit to India and reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to the country.
During the meeting, Jassy announced that Amazon will invest $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030 across artificial intelligence (AI), cloud infrastructure, e-commerce operations, and logistics expansion.
As part of the commitment, Amazon said it will invest an additional $13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India by 2030. This will take the company’s total planned investment in AI and cloud infrastructure in the country to more than $21 billion during 2026–2030, making Amazon among the largest global investors in India’s AI and cloud ecosystem.
With the latest commitment, Amazon’s cumulative investments in India between 2010 and 2030 are expected to exceed $88 billion.
Jassy said, “We came to India over a decade ago and have since been serving customers, sellers, developers, start-ups and enterprises through our different businesses. The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses. As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities continue to align with India’s priorities of democratizing access to AI, digitizing small businesses, creating jobs, and enabling exports. We are investing over $48 billion in the coming five years to meet the strong demand across our business in India and to help the country achieve these priorities. We are inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat, and we are committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story."
Beyond technology infrastructure, the company said it will continue expanding the operations network supporting its ecommerce and quick commerce businesses. Amazon plans to launch more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 last-mile delivery stations this year to improve delivery speed and reliability across the country, with a particular focus on tier-3 and tier-4 markets.
The company said the expansion will support delivery capabilities ranging from deliveries in minutes and hours to next-day fulfilment while increasing product selection for customers.
Amazon also announced the launch of ‘Sammaan’, a dedicated welfare programme for delivery associates supporting its ecommerce and quick commerce network.
Aligning its growth plans with India’s broader digital and economic priorities, Amazon said it will continue focusing on AI-led digitisation, export growth, employment generation and strengthening its logistics infrastructure.
By 2030, the company has committed to supporting 3.8 million jobs, enabling cumulative ecommerce exports worth $80 billion, extending AI-led benefits to 15 million small businesses and providing AI education to 4 million government school students across India.
