Amazon India plans to invest $3 billion (₹28,790 crore) in its quick commerce arm, Amazon Now, by 2030, according to inc42.com. The ecommerce giant aims to allocate $1 billion by the end of 2027 and an additional $2 billion by 2030 to expand the service, which launched in Bengaluru in June 2025 and has since expanded to Delhi and Mumbai.
The investment will focus on expanding the dark store network from 750 currently to around 1,300 by April 2027, enhancing inventory management software, deploying AI tools for demand prediction, and broadening the product mix with an emphasis on daily essentials rather than high-value items like iPhones, inc42.com reported. Amazon India's vice president of operations, Abhinav Singh, had earlier announced a ₹2,800 crore investment to strengthen the quick commerce vertical and logistics network.
Amazon's move comes as it seeks to catch up in the fast-growing quick commerce market in India, where competitors have established early leads. The company has previously invested ₹2,000 crore to add fulfillment and sortation centers, as well as last-mile delivery stations, to support its broader ecommerce operations. The quick commerce segment is attracting significant capital as consumer demand for rapid delivery of daily essentials rises.
Amazon India's planned expansion of its dark store network to 1,300 stores by April 2027 and the phased $3 billion investment through 2030 highlight the company's commitment to scaling quick commerce in India, according to inc42.com.
