TL;DR
  • Amazon will invest an additional $13 billion to expand AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad through 2030.
  • The announcement follows prior commitments of $15 billion in 2023 and over $35 billion in December 2025, bringing total India investments to $48 billion.
  • Global peers including Microsoft and Google have also pledged multi-billion-dollar investments in India’s AI and cloud infrastructure.

Amazon announced it will invest an additional $13 billion to expand its AI and cloud footprint in India through 2030, funding the expansion of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The announcement was made following a meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.

This fresh commitment follows two prior major pledges by Amazon in India. In 2023, after a meeting between Jassy and Modi, the company said it would invest $15 billion by 2030, including $12.7 billion for AWS. In December 2025, Amazon announced an over $35 billion commitment. Combined, the company’s investment pledges in India now total $48 billion. Amazon did not specify how the total $48 billion would be allocated across its India businesses.

The investment surge aligns with a broader wave of commitments from global technology companies betting on India as a key location for AI and cloud computing infrastructure. Microsoft said in December it would invest $17.5 billion in India by 2029, and Google said in October it would spend $15 billion to build an AI hub and data center infrastructure in the country.

India has also attracted multi-billion-dollar commitments for data center projects from investors including Australia’s AirTrunk, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s CPP Investments, and domestic conglomerates Reliance Industries and Adani Group. New Delhi has pursued policy incentives, including tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers on services sold overseas if those workloads run from Indian data centers.
