Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on Thursday (June 25, 2026) announced an additional investment of $13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India by 2030. This comes within six months of Amazon announcing $35 billion in new investments in the country. Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this day in New Delhi and he reiterated Amazon’s long-term commitment to the country. He highlighted the growing importance of India, where Amazon operated several businesses including ecommerce, AI and cloud, and entertainment among others. He also noted that the company’s India business was on a strong growth trajectory with strong customer demand especially in its ecommerce and AWS business.
Really enjoyed my meeting with Prime Minister @narendramodi about what's ahead for Amazon in India. We've been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises in India for more than a decade and just getting started. Shared that we're investing $48 billion… pic.twitter.com/CSiwPTiEBh — Andy Jassy (@ajassy) June 25, 2026 “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,’’ Andy Jassy, CEO, Amazon said. “As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities continue to align with India’s priorities of democratising access to AI, digitising 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.’’ This takes Amazon’s total planned investment in expanding and supporting AI and cloud infrastructure to over $21 billion between 2026 and 2030, establishing it as one of the largest global AI and cloud infrastructure investors in the country. According to an Amazon communique, the investment will expand AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, giving startups, enterprises and government organisations access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure and reliable cloud technologies and developer tools to innovate faster, scale rapidly, and serve customers globally.
Amazon’s cumulative investments in India from 2010-2030 stand at over $88 billion, as per the company. Amazon would continue investing in the operations network powering its ecommerce and quick commerce business. The company plans to launch more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 new last mile delivery stations this year, bringing faster and reliable deliveries to customers nationwide, especially in tier 3 and 4 cities.
