Amazon will invest $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030 to expand and support its businesses in the country, the company announced on Thursday as CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Jassy, reaffirming Amazon’s long-term commitment to India, said the company would direct an additional $13 billion specifically toward expanding AI and cloud infrastructure in the country by 2030.
That brings Amazon’s total planned spend on AI and cloud infrastructure in India to over $21 billion between 2026 and 2030 a slice of the broader $48 billion package positioning the company as one of the largest global investors in AI and cloud infrastructure in the country.
The fresh capital will go toward expanding AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, giving startups, enterprises and government bodies access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, and secure cloud tools to scale and serve customers globally. Amazon’s cumulative investment in India between 2010 and 2030 now stands at over $88 billion.
Jassy praises Modi’s vision
“The Prime Minister’s vision for the last 12 years is just remarkable. You can see it in the development of the country and how important the country is in almost every aspect around the world,” said Jassy.
The Amazon CEO noted that the company had invested $40 billion in India since 2010, with an additional $35 billion announced last year. “We just announced today that we’re going to increase that amount from $35 billion to an incremental $48 billion of investment between 2026 and 2030,” said Jassy.
“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,” said Jassy.
“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,” he added.
“India is becoming such a significant cloud and AI hub around the world, and we have so much demand here that we’re continuing to invest in the country on the cloud side and the AI side as well,” Jassy said, adding that the investment would also generate long-term employment and economic gains for the country.
