Amazon announced an additional $13bn investment in India by 2030, bringing its total commitment to $48bn for 2026–2030. The new funds will expand AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, providing access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, and developer tools. CEO Andy Jassy made the announcement in New Delhi during a meeting with Prime Minister Modi. The shift marks a strategic pivot from Amazon's earlier India focus on retail toward cloud and AI infrastructure, mirroring similar large-scale commitments from Microsoft and Google Cloud in the country. Amazon also cited broader economic targets including support for 3.8 million jobs and AI education for four million students.
