June 27 – Amazon has announced plans to invest an additional $13 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in India, raising its total planned investment in the country to $48 billion between 2026 and 2030.
The fresh funding will be used to expand Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, strengthening the company’s cloud and AI capabilities in one of its fastest-growing markets.
The new commitment builds on Amazon’s earlier pledge of $35 billion, announced in December, as global technology giants intensify efforts to establish a stronger presence in India’s rapidly expanding digital economy.
Amazon Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy said the company remains committed to supporting India’s economic transformation.
“We are committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story,” Jassy said, adding that Amazon’s investments align with India’s priorities of expanding access to artificial intelligence, digitising small businesses, creating jobs and boosting exports.
Jassy met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, where the two discussed Amazon’s operations in India, spanning e-commerce, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and entertainment.
According to the company, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India between 2010 and 2030 will now reach $88 billion.
Through its growing network of data centres, Amazon aims to provide Indian startups, businesses and government agencies with access to advanced cloud services, custom AI chips and secure computing infrastructure.
The announcement comes amid a wave of investment by major global technology firms seeking to capitalise on India’s growing demand for artificial intelligence and cloud services.
Last year, India secured investment commitments worth $50 billion from U.S. technology companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, within a 24-hour period. Google has also committed $15 billion towards building data centre capacity for a new AI hub in southern India.
While India does not yet manufacture advanced semiconductors domestically or possess a frontier-scale AI model comparable to leading U.S. and Chinese systems, the country’s data centre industry is expanding rapidly.
According to brokerage firm Nomura, India’s data centre capacity has grown from 350 megawatts in 2019 to approximately 1.6 gigawatts in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate of 29 per cent, compared to the global average of 20 per cent.
The Indian government has supported the sector’s growth through long-term tax incentives aimed at attracting investment from major cloud and technology companies.
