Amazon has announced that it will invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030 as part of a major expansion aimed at strengthening its artificial intelligence capabilities, scaling exports, and deepening its overall presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology markets.
The investment underscores India’s rising importance as a global hub for cloud, AI, and advanced technology development. Several major U.S. tech companies have accelerated spending in the country this year, signaling confidence in its long-term digital growth trajectory.
On Tuesday, Microsoft pledged $17.5 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure in India—its largest-ever investment in Asia. Meanwhile, Google has committed $15 billion over the next five years to build out AI data centers and related infrastructure.
Amazon said its planned investment aligns with India’s national development priorities, with a focus on expanding AI capabilities, upgrading logistics networks, supporting small and medium businesses, and generating new employment opportunities across the country.
The company has been increasing its India outlay to keep pace with intensifying competition. It faces strong challenges from Walmart-owned Flipkart and Reliance Industries’ fast-growing retail arm, both of which are rapidly scaling their e-commerce and logistics ecosystems.
With this new commitment, Amazon signals its intent to remain a dominant player in one of its most important international markets while contributing to India’s ambition to become a global leader in AI and digital innovation.
