India continues to attract some of the world’s biggest technology investments. In a major boost for the country’s digital and artificial intelligence ambitions, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has announced an additional investment of $13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure in India by 2030.
The announcement came after Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on June 25, where the two discussed Amazon’s future plans and growing presence in the country.
Following the meeting, Jassy shared details of Amazon’s long-term plans for India in a post on X. He said the company remains committed to supporting customers, sellers, developers, start-ups and enterprises across the country.
Jassy said that Amazon has been operating in India for more than a decade and believes there is still significant room for growth. He said the company plans to invest a total of $48 billion in India over the next five years.
The latest announcement builds on Amazon’s earlier commitment made in 2025, when it pledged to invest $35 billion across its businesses in India.
With the additional $13 billion investment, Amazon’s planned spending will rise to $48 billion. The company said a significant part of the investment will go towards expanding artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) plans to increase data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The expansion is expected to provide businesses, start-ups and government organisations with greater access to advanced cloud services, AI tools, custom AI chips and secure digital infrastructure.
Amazon has also outlined ambitious goals for the coming years. According to Jassy, the company aims to support 3.8 million jobs in India by 2030 and help generate $80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports.
The company also plans to bring AI-powered tools and services to 15 million small businesses across the country. In addition, Amazon intends to provide AI education and learning opportunities to around 4 million government school students.
During his meeting with Prime Minister Modi, Jassy highlighted India’s growing importance in Amazon’s global business strategy. The company currently operates across several sectors in India, including e-commerce, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and entertainment.
Jassy thanked the Prime Minister for his leadership and said Amazon remains committed to supporting India’s digital transformation and economic growth.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s latest investment announcement signals confidence in the country’s digital future and reinforces its position as one of the company’s most important growth markets.
