Amazon Commits $48 Billion Investment in India as Andy Jassy Meets PM Modi

Earlier on June 25th, in New Delhi, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. By 2030, Jassy said, Amazon will have invested an extra $13 billion to increase its cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure in India, reiterating the company's long-term commitment to the nation. Between 2026 and 2030, Amazon plans to invest over $21 billion in growing and supporting AI and cloud infrastructure. This solidified its position as a leading investment in the country's cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence on a worldwide scale.

The investment would increase the capacity of AWS's data centres in Hyderabad and Mumbai. This means that businesses, startups, and government agencies can have access to developer tools, safe and dependable cloud computing, managed AI services, and custom AI chips, allowing them to innovate more quickly, scale more efficiently, and serve consumers all over the world. Over $88 billion would have been invested in India by Amazon between 2010 and 2030.
