Amazon has revealed plans to invest an additional US$ 13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in the country by 2030. This takes Amazon’s total planned investment in expanding and supporting AI and cloud infrastructure to over US$ 21 billion between 2026 and 2030.
The plans were revealed on the sidelines of a meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The announcement comes within six months of Amazon announcing US$ 35 billion in new India investments, which makes the company’s total planned investment in this period a whopping US$ 48 million which also includes its e-commerce business, export growth and job creation commitments.
In a press release, Jassy reiterated Amazon’s long-term commitment to India saying, “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 e-commerce, AI, and cloud businesses. 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.”
Taking to X, PM Modi posted, “I welcome Amazon’s record $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!”
The investment will expand AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, giving startups, enterprises and government organizations 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.
