Amazon commits additional $13 billion to India’s AI and cloud infrastructure
- Amazon announced a $13 billion addition to its India investment plan on Thursday.
- This raises the company’s total committed spending to $48 billion through 2030 for AI and cloud infrastructure in the Mumbai and Hyderabad regions.
- The move follows CEO Andy Jassy’s meeting with Prime Minister Modi in New Delhi and puts Amazon alongside Microsoft ($17.5 billion) and Google ($15 billion) in a wave of big-tech capital flowing into the country.
Tech giant Amazon has announced an influx of an additional $13 billion into India by year 2030, which aims to improve AI and cloud infrastructure in the Mumbai and Hyderabad regions. This fresh commitment will raise the company’s total planned investment in the country to $48 billion over the next half a decade.
Amazon’s new tech funding in India
This new development followed a meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday, according to Reuters. Jassy confirmed the figures in a post on X, writing that the company is “investing $48 billion over the coming five years, including $21+ billion in AI and cloud infrastructure.”
Really enjoyed my meeting with Prime Minister @narendramodi about what’s ahead for Amazon in India.
We’ve been serving customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises in India for more than a decade and just getting started.

Amazon had already put a $35 billion spending plan in place for India last year. The new $13 billion adds to this amount and directs the funds specifically toward AI and cloud capacity in two regions, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
India sees increased big tech interest
Several of Amazon’s largest competitors have also staked out their multibillion-dollar positions in India over the past year.
Microsoft has also pledged $17.5 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure, while Google committed $15 billion over five years to build more AI data centers in the country, according to Reuters. This adds up to a total of $80 billion in planned tech investment for India over the next five years when Amazon’s updated figure is taken into consideration.
The scale of spending by these big tech companies reflects India’s growth and development into an increasingly important hub of cloud computing and AI advancement. The South Asian country offers a lot of engineering talent and a large, growing domestic market for digital services, alongside government policy that has invited more and more foreign tech capital.
