Global technology and e-commerce giant Amazon has unveiled plans to significantly deepen its presence in India with a major investment focused on artificial intelligence and cloud computing. During a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced the company’s intention to invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030.
The announcement highlights Amazon’s long-term commitment to one of its fastest-growing markets and underscores the increasing importance of India in the global technology landscape.
According to the company, the newly announced funding will be deployed over the next several years to enhance artificial intelligence capabilities and expand cloud infrastructure across the country. With this commitment, Amazon’s total investment in India between 2026 and 2030 is expected to reach $48 billion.
Andy Jassy stated that the company remains focused on supporting India’s digital transformation by strengthening technology infrastructure, enabling innovation, and creating new opportunities for businesses and consumers.
Amazon has outlined ambitious goals linked to its investment strategy. By 2030, the company aims to support approximately 3.8 million jobs, contribute to the growth of India’s e-commerce exports, and help millions of small and medium-sized businesses leverage AI-powered tools and services.
The company believes that wider access to advanced technologies can accelerate productivity, improve competitiveness, and create long-term economic benefits across multiple sectors.
A significant portion of the investment will be directed toward expanding the capabilities of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company’s cloud computing division. Amazon plans to increase data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises, and government organisations to access advanced cloud technologies and AI-driven solutions.
The expanded infrastructure is expected to provide developers and businesses with greater computing power, faster scalability, and enhanced digital tools to build innovative products and services.
With the latest announcement, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India from 2010 to 2030 is projected to exceed $88 billion. The figure reflects the company’s growing confidence in India’s economic potential and its role as a strategic market for future growth.
Jassy noted that Amazon has spent more than a decade working with Indian customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises, adding that the company sees enormous opportunities ahead in the country’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
Industry observers believe the investment will provide a significant boost to India’s artificial intelligence and cloud computing sectors while encouraging innovation and job creation. The move is also expected to strengthen India’s position as a global technology hub and attract further international investment into the country’s digital ecosystem.
