New Delhi, December 10: Amazon announced on Wednesday that it will invest more than US$35 billion in India by 2030, outlining one of its largest long-term commitments to a single international market. The company said the investment will support the expansion of its operations, the development of artificial-intelligence infrastructure and a significant increase in India-linked global exports.
According to Amazon, the fresh commitment adds to the US$40 billion it has already invested in India since 2010 through its e-commerce, logistics, cloud services and digital payments businesses. The company said India remains one of its fastest-growing global markets and a key pillar in its long-term international strategy.
Amazon stated that the new investment will focus on enhancing AI capabilities, scaling data-centre infrastructure and deepening its logistics and fulfilment network across major Indian cities. The company expects these upgrades to accelerate digital adoption among small and medium-sized businesses and improve delivery speed and service efficiency for consumers.
A major component of the plan targets India’s export sector. Amazon said it aims to increase cumulative exports enabled through its platform from more than US$20 billion to US$80 billion by 2030, as global demand for Indian-made goods continues to rise.
The company added that the expansion will support the creation of roughly one million additional jobs in sectors including logistics, transportation, warehousing, packaging and technology services. Amazon said the employment impact would include direct, indirect and seasonal roles generated by the expansion of its ecosystem.
The announcement comes at a time when global technology firms are increasing investments in India’s digital economy, with a particular focus on AI and cloud computing. Amazon said its long-term view is aligned with India’s economic growth trajectory, rising internet penetration and the government’s push for export-led development.
Amazon has not disclosed a year-by-year investment breakdown but confirmed that the funds will be deployed across e-commerce, AWS cloud services, supply-chain infrastructure and technology development initiatives throughout the decade.
