Amazon to invest over $35 Bn in India by 2030

Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, according to multiple media reports. The investment will be made over the next five years and spans the company’s e-commerce, cloud computing, logistics, and digital services businesses in the country.

With this commitment, Amazon’s cumulative investment in India is expected to reach nearly $75 billion, including the approximately $40 billion it has already invested since 2010.

The company said the fresh capital will be deployed across Amazon Web Services, fulfilment infrastructure, last-mile delivery, data centres, and AI-led initiatives. Amazon added that the investment will also support its seller ecosystem and exports program, which enables Indian sellers to sell globally through the platform.

Amazon said it aims to support around 15 million small businesses in India by integrating artificial intelligence tools into their operations and expects the investment to contribute to the creation of about one million jobs by 2030.

Amazon operates multiple business verticals in India, including its marketplace, Prime Video, AWS cloud services, payments, and logistics. The company has also expanded its data centre and fulfilment network across several states to support growing demand.

India remains one of Amazon’s key international markets, with the company continuing to invest in infrastructure, technology, and local sellers as part of its long-term operations in the country.

The announcement comes a day after Microsoft said it would invest $17.5 billion in India over the coming years to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure footprint. Meanwhile, Google has already committed to invest $15 billion in India over the next five years.
