Amazon is going all in on India.
The tech giant has announced an additional $13 billion investment to expand its AI and cloud infrastructure in the country. That takes its total planned investment in India to a staggering $48 billion between 2026 and 2030.
Really enjoyed my meeting with Prime Minister @narendramodi about what’s ahead for Amazon in India.

What’s going on: back in December, Amazon had already committed $35 billion as global tech giants raced to build AI infrastructure in one of the world's fastest-growing digital markets.
With this latest announcement, Amazon is cementing its position as one of India's biggest AI and cloud infrastructure investors. It's already the country's largest foreign investor, one of the biggest job creators and a major driver of e-commerce exports.
Today, hundreds of thousands of Indian businesses, startups and government agencies already use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run everything from cloud computing to AI applications.
Customers include the National Health Authority, Government e-Marketplace, Apollo Tyres, Delhivery, Physics Wallah, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank, among many others.
The big picture: the country's installed data centre capacity has jumped from around 375 MW in 2020 to nearly 1,500 MW in 2025, as demand for cloud services and AI computing continues to surge.
Globally, companies have invested nearly $1 trillion in AI infrastructure since 2020, and India is quickly emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Until now, most data centres have been built to support cloud storage and enterprise IT. But over the next five to seven years, AI is expected to become the biggest growth driver.
