Amazon India announced a fresh $13 billion investment to deepen its presence in the country, part of a larger $48 billion commitment over the next five years. The new funds will focus on AI, cloud infrastructure, and quick commerce, with significant expansions planned for 2026. This move aims to strengthen Amazon’s foothold in India’s growing digital economy, according to inc42.com.
The investment includes a $21 billion allocation between 2026 and 2030 dedicated to AI and cloud infrastructure. Amazon plans to expand AWS capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, providing local companies with access to custom AI chips, advanced developer tools, and managed cloud services. CEO Andy Jassy highlighted India’s scale, talent, and digital adoption as key factors positioning the country as a builder of next-generation AI solutions rather than just a consumer, inc42.com reported.
Amazon’s strategy also involves upgrading its logistics network by adding 20 fulfillment centers and over 100 last-mile delivery stations in 2026, focusing on tier III and tier IV cities. This expansion aims to enhance speed and reliability, enabling Amazon to compete more effectively in smaller markets where ecommerce growth remains robust. The company is also pushing quick commerce to capture emerging demand in these regions, according to inc42.com.
The broader $48 billion investment plan underscores Amazon’s long-term commitment to India’s digital infrastructure and AI ecosystem. The company’s expansion efforts this year include significant AWS capacity growth and logistics upgrades, setting the stage for accelerated ecommerce and cloud adoption in the country.
