After Andy Jassy’s meeting with PM Modi, Amazon unveiled a sweeping India investment plan focused on AI, AWS, ecommerce expansion, jobs and exports
Amazon on Thursday announced a massive $48 billion investment in India over the next four years, underscoring the country’s growing importance in the US tech giant’s global strategy. The announcement came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
Of the total planned investment for 2026 to 2030, Amazon said more than $21 billion will go towards expanding its AI and cloud infrastructure, including an additional $13 billion earmarked specifically for that segment by 2030. The company said this would make it one of the largest global investors in AI and cloud infrastructure in India.
Big push for AI, cloud and ecommerce
Amazon said the investment will be used to expand and support its businesses across ecommerce, AI, cloud and digital services in India. A major part of the plan will focus on expanding AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises and government organisations to access AI tools, custom chips, managed services and cloud infrastructure.
Jassy said Amazon’s India business has seen strong momentum, especially across ecommerce, artificial intelligence and AWS.
“We are investing over $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.
He added that Amazon remains inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat, and wants to remain a long-term partner in India’s growth story.
