Amazon CEO Andy Jassy during his current visit to India, where he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, announced the company will invest an additional $13 billion in the country to expand AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030. The top-up investment comes within six months of Amazon announcing $35 billion in new India investments.
Including investments worth $35 billion announced in December 2025, and another $13 billion announced on June 25, Amazon’s cumulative investments in India from 2010-2030 stand at over $88 billion, as per the company.
The latest investment makes Amazon one of the largest global AI and cloud infrastructure investors in India, in addition to being the largest foreign investor in India, the largest enabler of ecommerce exports and one of the biggest job creators in the country.
Andy Jassy, CEO, Amazon 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 ’s growth story.”
In line with this vision, Amazon has pledged to support over 3.8 million jobs, enable $80 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports and bring the benefits of AI to 15 million small businesses and 4 million government school students by 2030.
Of Amazon's total $48 billion investment, between 2026 and 2030, around $21 billion, including the latest $13 billion announced on June 25, will go toward AI and cloud investment plans in India, expanding and supporting AI and cloud infrastructure across the two regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Both AWS Regions enable customers to securely store their data within India and give them access to the world’s most advanced AI and cloud technology including high-performance Trainium chips and AWS’s leading inference engine Amazon Bedrock, the company said on June 25.
Hundreds of thousands of Indian enterprises, startups, and government agencies are already using AWS to build, train, and deploy AI workloads at production scale, including National Health Authority, Government e-Marketplace, Apollo Tyres, Delhivery, Physics Wallah, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and many others. From day one, AWS has built its infrastructure so customers have full control over where their data resides, who can access it, and how it's secured, it added.
