Amazon’s latest India investment comes as global tech companies race to expand AI infrastructure in the country.
Amazon on Thursday said it would invest an additional $13 billion to expand its AI and cloud footprint in India through 2030.
The fresh investment, announced after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, will fund the expansion of Amazon Web Services’ data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The announcement marks Amazon’s third major commitment for India in as many years. In 2023, following a meeting between Jassy and Modi, the company said it would invest $15 billion by 2030, including $12.7 billion for Amazon Web Services. It followed that with an over $35 billion commitment in December 2025. The company’s investment commitments in the country now total $48 billion.
Amazon did not detail how the total $48 billion would be deployed across its India businesses. Long-term commitments by technology companies usually include both capital and operating expenditures, rather than only new infrastructure spending.
Amazon’s announcement follows a wave of investments by global technology companies that are betting that India will become a major hub for the computing infrastructure needed to power artificial intelligence products. Microsoft said in December it would invest $17.5 billion in India by 2029, and Google said in October it would spend $15 billion to build an AI hub and data center infrastructure in the country.
India has also attracted billions of dollars in commitments for data center projects from investors including Australia’s AirTrunk, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s CPP Investments, and domestic conglomerates Reliance Industries and Adani Group.
