Amazon has reaffirmed its long-term confidence in India by announcing a $48-billion investment plan through 2030, with CEO Andy Jassy revealing the commitment after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The investment is aimed at expanding the company’s footprint across artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, logistics and digital commerce.
Following the meeting, Jassy described India as one of Amazon’s most important growth markets and said the company remains committed to supporting the country’s digital transformation. He noted that discussions with the Prime Minister focused on technology, innovation, job creation and strengthening India’s digital economy.
The latest commitment includes an additional $13 billion to expand Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, taking the company’s planned investment in India during 2026-30 to $48 billion. This builds on the previously announced $35-billion investment programme, reflecting Amazon’s growing confidence in the Indian market.
A large share of the funding will go towards expanding AWS data centres, boosting AI capabilities and increasing cloud capacity to meet rising demand from businesses, startups and government organisations. Amazon believes these investments will strengthen India’s position as a global technology and AI hub.
Amazon said the investment will also benefit millions of small businesses by providing them with advanced digital tools, AI-powered solutions and better access to online markets. The company expects its long-term investments to generate employment opportunities, strengthen exports and contribute to India’s broader economic growth.
Jassy also highlighted the transformative role of artificial intelligence, saying the technology will reshape how businesses operate and improve productivity across sectors. While AI may change certain job roles, he said it will also create new opportunities by driving innovation and demand for skilled talent.
The company also plans to expand its logistics network by opening new fulfilment centres and delivery stations across the country. The move is expected to improve delivery speeds, particularly in smaller cities and emerging markets, while supporting the rapid growth of quick-commerce services.
