Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) plans to invest an additional US$13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India, bringing its total planned investment in the country to US$48 billion between 2026 and 2030.

The new commitment will be used to expand AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Amazon plans to use the investments to support access to its AI chips, managed AI services, cloud infrastructure and developer tools for startups, enterprises, and government organisations.

The announcement follows Amazon’s earlier US$35 billion investment commitment across its India businesses. 

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi last week, with the company highlighting India’s growing importance across e-commerce, cloud, AI, and entertainment. 

“For over a decade, we have been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises through our different businesses,” said Jassy. “The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses.”

Amazon said it will also continue investing in its India operations network, including the infrastructure supporting its e-commerce and quick commerce businesses.

The company plans to open more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 last-mile delivery stations this year, with a focus on improving delivery coverage across the country, including tier 3 and tier 4 cities.

Amazon has also launched Sammaan, a programme for delivery associates that includes education scholarships for their children, access to government benefits and financial inclusion schemes, insurance coverage, and road safety measures. 

Part of Amazon India’s recently announced US$300 million investment in operations and associate welfare will be used to expand these initiatives.

The company’s cumulative investment in India from 2010 to 2030 now stands at more than US$88 billion.

Since entering the market, the company said it has digitised 12 million small businesses, enabled more than US$20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, supported 2.8 million jobs, and trained over 10 million people in cloud skills.

Through 2030, Amazon said it will focus on AI-led digitisation, export growth, and job creation. Its targets include supporting 3.8 million jobs, enabling US$80 billion in cumulative exports, bringing AI tools to 15 million small businesses, and providing AI education to 4 million government school students.
