US technology and e-commerce giant Amazon has announced an additional $13 billion investment in India, significantly expanding its long-term commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies. The announcement followed a meeting in New Delhi between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The fresh investment raises Amazon’s total planned spending in India to $48 billion over the next five years, with more than $21 billion specifically allocated to artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure projects. The company aims to complete these initiatives by 2030 as it deepens its presence across India’s technology, logistics, and e-commerce sectors.
According to Amazon, the expanded investment strategy will support approximately 3.8 million jobs, facilitate $80 billion in e-commerce exports, and enable 15 million small businesses to access AI-powered tools and digital marketplaces. The company also plans to introduce AI-driven educational programs benefiting nearly four million government school students.
Beyond technology investments, Amazon intends to strengthen its nationwide logistics network by opening more than 20 new fulfillment centers and establishing over 100 last-mile delivery stations within the year, improving delivery speed and customer service across urban and rural markets.
The announcement aligns with a broader wave of global technology investments flowing into India. Major firms including Google and Microsoft have recently expanded their AI initiatives in the country, reinforcing India’s emergence as a critical hub for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital innovation, and global supply chains.
