Amazon to Invest $13 Billion in India’s AI Sector

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday and announced that the company will invest an additional $13 billion in India by 2030 to strengthen its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure. The announcement highlights Amazon’s growing focus on India as a key market for technology innovation and digital growth.

During the meeting, Jassy discussed Amazon’s long-term plans for the country and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting India’s digital economy. The fresh investment will increase Amazon’s total capital commitment in India to $48 billion between 2026 and 2030.

Sharing details of the meeting on social media, Jassy said Amazon plans to support 3.8 million jobs in India by 2030. He also said the company aims to help generate $80 billion in e-commerce exports while extending the benefits of AI to 15 million small businesses and around 4 million students in government schools across the country.

Amazon said the new investment will primarily expand Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in India. The company plans to increase data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises and government organisations to access advanced cloud technologies and AI-powered tools.

According to Amazon, the expanded AWS infrastructure will provide customers with custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure cloud computing platforms and developer tools that can help organisations innovate faster, scale operations efficiently and serve customers around the world.
