The commitment builds on the company's existing presence in India, where it has already invested $40 billion since 2010, including a $26 billion announcement made in 2023. The new funds will focus on expanding cloud infrastructure, advancing AI technologies, improving supply chain efficiency, and assisting small and medium enterprises.
According to Amazon's statement, the planned investments "are strategically aligned with India's national priorities and will focus on expanding AI capabilities, enhancing logistics infrastructure, supporting small business growth and creating jobs."
The company expects the initiative to generate one million additional jobs in India by 2030. Amazon also highlighted its role in facilitating exports, noting that Indian sellers using its platform have achieved cumulative export revenue exceeding $20 billion over the past decade. The company aims to help raise that figure to $80 billion by 2030.
India continues to attract substantial commitments from leading global technology companies. Microsoft revealed on Tuesday a $17.5 billion investment plan for AI and cloud facilities in India through 2030, representing its largest single-country commitment in Asia. Google has separately pledged $15 billion over the next five years for AI data center development.
These announcements reflect growing confidence in India's digital economy, driven by a large and rapidly increasing internet user population and ongoing improvements in digital infrastructure. The investments target expansion of services within India and do not involve imports of goods for domestic consumption.
Amazon’s latest pledge reinforces the country's position as a key growth market for international technology firms and supports broader objectives of job creation, technological advancement, and export growth across multiple sectors. The funds will be deployed progressively through 2030, complementing earlier investments and contributing to sustained economic activity in technology, logistics, and related industries throughout India.
