Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, reaffirming the country’s position as one of its most important global markets. According to multiple reports, the investment will be deployed over the next five years across e-commerce, cloud computing, logistics, data centres, and AI-driven initiatives.
With this commitment, Amazon’s total investment in India will approach $75 billion, adding to the nearly $40 billion the company has already infused since entering the market in 2010.
A significant share of the new capital will go toward expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS), strengthening fulfilment and last-mile delivery networks, scaling data centre capacity, and accelerating adoption of AI tools for Indian businesses. The company said the investment will also bolster its seller ecosystem and expand its global exports program, which enables Indian sellers to reach customers worldwide.
Amazon aims to support 15 million small businesses in India by integrating advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into their daily operations. The company expects these efforts to contribute to the creation of around one million jobs by 2030, spanning technology, logistics, retail, and manufacturing.
Amazon currently operates a wide portfolio of services in India, including its online marketplace, Prime Video, AWS cloud, Amazon Pay, and a rapidly expanding logistics and data infrastructure. Over the past decade, the company has continued to deepen its presence by building fulfilment centres and data hubs across major states.
The announcement comes at a time when global tech giants are aggressively increasing their India footprint. A day earlier, Microsoft revealed a $17.5 billion investment plan, while Google has committed $15 billion over the next five years. With Amazon’s latest pledge, India’s digital and AI infrastructure is set for a significant acceleration in the coming decade.
