Amazon Raises India Investment to USD 48 Billion by 2030, Expands AI and Cloud Infrastructure

Amazon, founded by Jeff Bezos, has announced an additional investment of USD 13 billion in India by 2030 to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure. The announcement was made following a meeting between Amazon Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Jassy's visit to India on June 25.

A significant portion of the investment will be directed towards expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The expansion is expected to provide Indian startups, businesses and government organisations with improved access to Amazon's Trainium AI chips, AI services, cloud computing infrastructure and developer tools.

With the latest commitment, Amazon's total planned investment in India by 2030 has increased to more than USD 21 billion for its AI and cloud expansion. Overall, the company's investment in India between 2010 and 2030 is projected to reach USD 88 billion.

Amazon has already invested USD 40 billion in India since 2010. In 2025, the company announced plans to invest USD 35 billion in the country by 2030 to expand and support its businesses. The latest announcement increases that commitment to USD 48 billion over the next five years.

The investment comes at a time when global technology companies are significantly increasing expenditure on data centres and cloud computing infrastructure amid the intensifying AI competition. India has become a strategic market because of its vast developer ecosystem and its rapidly expanding base of internet and smartphone users.

In December last year, Microsoft announced an investment of USD 17.5 billion in India through 2029, marking its largest investment in Asia. The company stated that the funds would be used to establish new data centres, strengthen AI infrastructure and expand skilling programmes. Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are also planning to deepen their presence in India in response to rising demand for cloud services and AI tools from businesses, startups and government agencies.

In an official statement, Amazon Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy said the company's priorities continue to align with India's national development goals.

"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 USD 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," Jassy said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed Amazon's record investment and highlighted its economic significance. In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, "A great meeting with Mr. Andy Jassy. I welcome Amazon's record USD 48 billion investment in India. This will create new opportunities for our youth. At the same time, it shows the growing interest across the world to invest in India."

India currently has an installed data centre capacity of approximately 1.2 gigawatts, with substantial expansion expected by 2030. Despite generating more than 20 percent of the world's data, the country accounts for only 3 percent of global data centre capacity.

Amazon stated that its AWS Regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad will enable customers to securely store data within India while providing seamless access to the company's AI and cloud computing services.

Amazon's expanded investment underscores India's growing importance in the global AI and cloud computing landscape. As international technology companies continue to increase investments in digital infrastructure, the country's position as a major destination for innovation, data centres and advanced AI services is expected to strengthen further.
