According to Amazon, the additional funding will primarily be used to strengthen its AI and cloud business through Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company plans to expand its data centre infrastructure in Mumbai and Hyderabad to meet the growing demand for cloud services in India. With the latest announcement, Amazon’s total investment in India between 2010 and 2030 will cross $88 billion.
Out of the newly announced investment, more than $21 billion will now be allocated towards AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030. Amazon says the expanded AWS infrastructure will help startups, enterprises, developers and government organisations access AI tools, cloud computing services and custom AI chips. The company also believes India is becoming one of its fastest-growing markets for AI adoption, which is why it continues to increase investments in this area.
The company added that AWS Regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad will continue to store data locally while offering businesses access to advanced AI services and cloud technologies.
More jobs and support for small businesses?
Apart from infrastructure, Amazon also shared some of its long-term goals for India. The company plans to support nearly 3.8 million direct and indirect jobs by 2030, compared to around 2.8 million jobs it supported in 2024.
Amazon also aims to enable $80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports over the next few years. Besides this, it plans to bring AI benefits to nearly 15 million small businesses and introduce AI education to around 4 million government school students.
Andy Jassy has also highlighted the strong growth Amazon has witnessed across its e-commerce, cloud and AI businesses in India over the last decade.
