Amazon announced on June 25, 2026 an additional $13 billion investment in India focused on artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, taking the company's planned commitment in India from 2026 to 2030 to a total of $48 billion. The announcement came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
New Investment
Amazon has added $13 billion to its planned India investments, accelerating its buildout of artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in the world's most populous country. On June 25, 2026, the company announced the additional investment focused on artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, taking Amazon's planned commitment in India from 2026 to 2030 to a total of $48 billion. The fresh outlays will expand the data center capacity of Amazon Web Services in Mumbai and Hyderabad, while the e-commerce giant will also open more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 new delivery stations across India this year. The new investment will primarily support the expansion of Amazon Web Services data centre infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises, developers, and government organizations to access advanced AI technologies, cloud computing services, custom AI chips, and managed AI platforms.
Investment
The $13 billion will primarily strengthen AWS data centers in Mumbai and Hyderabad. This latest investment adds to Amazon's cumulative spending in India (2010–2030), which is expected to exceed $88 billion. The announcement came after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Indian PM Modi in New Delhi on Thursday. Jassy said India remains one of Amazon's most important long-term growth markets, driven by strong demand for e-commerce, cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Investment
Indian PM Modi welcomed the announcement, saying the investment reflects growing global confidence in India's economy and will create new opportunities for young people. By 2030, the company aims to support around 3.8 million jobs, enable $80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports and help millions of small businesses and students through its technology initiatives. For professionals, this signals rising demand for skills in cloud engineering, AI, data science, and cybersecurity, and students and job seekers should focus on these areas now. The move strengthens AWS's position in a market where Microsoft, Google, domestic cloud providers, and telecom-backed infrastructure players are all competing for AI workloads, as India's large developer base, fast-growing startup ecosystem, and public-sector digitization make it a critical battleground for cloud and AI platforms.
Global Technology
The announcement underlines India's emergence as a preferred destination for global technology investment, and with AI becoming a major focus area worldwide, Amazon's expanded commitment is expected to strengthen India's cloud ecosystem, improve digital infrastructure and generate new employment opportunities. India's young population, fast-growing internet users, and policy push for digitalization make it highly attractive. The investment reinforces India's ambition to become a $5 trillion economy with a strong tech backbone. The announcement also underlines India's emergence as a preferred destination for global technology investment, with several global technology firms continuing to expand their India operations.
