By Amazon has announced an ambitious new investment roadmap for India, reinforcing its confidence in the country’s digital economy and long-term growth potential. During a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy unveiled plans to invest a total of $48 billion in India between 2026 and 2030, spanning e-commerce, artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, logistics and workforce development.
The announcement marks one of Amazon’s biggest commitments to any global market. Company executives said the fresh investments are designed to accelerate India’s digital transformation, expand AI capabilities, strengthen cloud infrastructure and create millions of employment opportunities over the next five years.
A significant portion of the investment—an additional $13 billion—will be directed towards expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure across India. This takes Amazon’s planned investment in AI and cloud technologies to more than $21 billion during the 2026-2030 period. The company will expand its AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises and government agencies to access advanced AI tools, custom chips, secure cloud services and next-generation developer platforms.
Amazon said the enhanced infrastructure will support India’s rapidly growing AI ecosystem by providing businesses with faster and more reliable computing resources while keeping data securely stored within the country.
Beyond cloud technology, Amazon is also preparing to strengthen its retail and logistics network. The company plans to launch over 20 new fulfilment centres and more than 100 last-mile delivery stations across India this year. The expansion aims to improve delivery speeds, particularly in Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities, where online shopping continues to grow rapidly.
Andy Jassy thanked Prime Minister Modi for creating an environment that supports innovation and entrepreneurship. He said India has become one of Amazon’s fastest-growing markets, with strong demand across its e-commerce, cloud computing and digital services businesses. According to the company, Amazon has already digitised over 12 million small businesses, enabled more than $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, created 2.8 million jobs, and provided cloud skills training to over 10 million Indians.
Looking ahead, Amazon has outlined ambitious targets by 2030. The company plans to support 3.8 million jobs, facilitate $80 billion in cumulative exports, help 15 million small businesses adopt AI-powered solutions and provide AI education to four million government school students.
As part of its broader expansion strategy, Amazon also introduced ‘Sammaan’, a welfare programme dedicated to delivery associates working across its logistics network. The initiative includes scholarships for employees’ children, access to financial inclusion schemes, insurance coverage, road safety measures and expanded rest facilities. Amazon said it will increase its network of Ashray rest centres to 250 locations during the year, making them accessible to delivery personnel across the industry.
Amazon’s cumulative investment in India between 2010 and 2030 is now expected to exceed $88 billion. With fresh investments spanning AI, cloud infrastructure, logistics and workforce development, the company is positioning India as one of its most important global growth markets while aligning its expansion plans with the country’s vision of a digitally empowered and self-reliant economy.
