Amazon has strengthened its long-term commitment to India by announcing plans to invest $48 billion in the country between 2026 and 2030. The announcement followed a meeting between Amazon President and CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, where the two discussed India’s rapidly evolving digital economy and the growing role of technology in driving economic growth.
As part of the broader investment plan, Amazon will allocate an additional $13 billion to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing infrastructure across India by 2030. The fresh capital will primarily support the expansion of Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises, and public sector organisations to access advanced cloud technologies and AI-driven solutions.
The latest commitment builds on Amazon’s previously announced $35 billion investment plan and takes the company’s total planned investment in India during the 2026–2030 period to $48 billion. According to the company, India has emerged as one of its most important global markets for cloud services, artificial intelligence, digital commerce, and innovation, prompting Amazon to deepen its presence in the country.
Beyond cloud and AI infrastructure, Amazon is accelerating the expansion of its logistics and quick commerce operations. The company plans to add more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 delivery stations across India this year. Through Amazon Now, its quick commerce platform, Amazon aims to significantly expand its reach and strengthen its ability to deliver products within minutes in major urban markets. The company has also outlined plans to establish a large network of micro-fulfilment centres as competition intensifies in India’s fast-growing quick commerce segment.
Amazon Bets on India’s Booming Quick Commerce Market
The expansion comes at a time when India’s quick commerce industry is witnessing aggressive growth, with companies racing to improve delivery speeds and widen product assortments. While grocery deliveries remain a key category, leading platforms are increasingly offering electronics, beauty products, fashion items, home essentials, and other consumer goods through ultra-fast delivery networks. Amazon’s latest investment reflects its strategy to capture a larger share of this rapidly evolving market while supporting India’s broader digital transformation agenda.
Since entering India, Amazon has invested heavily in e-commerce, cloud infrastructure, exports, and small business digitisation. The company stated that its cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 will now exceed $88 billion, underscoring its confidence in the country’s long-term growth prospects and its position as a major global hub for technology and innovation.
