Amazon pours $13B into India AI infrastructure
Amazon doubles down on India with $48B total AI bets by 2030...
Amazon announced a fresh $13 billion investment to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure in India, bringing its total commitments to $48 billion by 2030. The funding will bolster AWS’s data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, following prior pledges of $15 billion in 2023 and $35 billion in December 2025. This surge in investment aligns with India’s push to become a global AI computing hub, attracting competitors like Microsoft ($17.5B) and Google ($15B) to build data centers and AI hubs.
Beyond cloud, Amazon is expanding its retail and logistics footprint, including 20+ new fulfillment centers and 100+ last-mile delivery stations in 2024. The company is also scaling its quick-commerce service, Amazon Now, to over 300 cities, competing with local players like Blinkit and Flipkart. These moves reflect Amazon’s broader strategy to dominate India’s growing digital economy amid policy incentives like tax exemptions for cloud providers operating local data centers.
