  • Company to keep scaling its ecommerce and quick-commerce operations, launching more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 last‑mile delivery stations this year to speed deliveries nationwide, with a focus on tier‑3 and tier‑4 cities.

Amazon said it will invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030 to expand AI and cloud infrastructure, lifting its total planned investment in the country to $48 billion over the next five years.

The announcement followed a meeting in New Delhi between CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Jassy said on X that the five-year plan includes over $21 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure and aligns with India’s goals to democratise AI, digitise small businesses, create jobs, and expand exports.

Amazon said the new funds will support AI and cloud capacity across the Mumbai and Hyderabad regions. Beyond infrastructure, the company will keep scaling its ecommerce and quick-commerce operations, launching more than 20 new fulfillment centers and over 100 last‑mile delivery stations this year to speed deliveries nationwide, with a focus on tier‑3 and tier‑4 cities. Amazon said its network already serves every pin code in India.

“For over a decade, we have been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises through our different businesses,” Jassy said, citing strong growth in ecommerce, AI, and cloud.

The move comes amid a broader wave of US tech investment in India’s digital economy. Microsoft has pledged $17.5 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure in the country, while Google has committed $15 billion over the next five years to build AI data centres.
