Amazon to invest USD 35B in India by 2030, boosting AI, cloud, logistics, exports to $80B, and creating 1 million jobs across sectors.
Amazon intends to allocate USD 35 billion in India over the next five years to broaden its operations across sectors such as rapid commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, as the global technology giant intensifies its commitment to the world’s fastest-growing economy.
The US e-commerce giant’s investment follows shortly after Microsoft committed USD 17.5 billion in India for data centers, artificial intelligence, and cloud infrastructure by 2030. Previously, Google committed USD 15 billion over the next five years to the development of AI data centers.
Amazon announced that its investments in sectors such as artificial intelligence and logistics infrastructure through 2030 will contribute to the creation of an additional one million employment in India.
The e-commerce leader is increasing its investments to rival Walmart-backed Flipkart as well as domestic titans such as those owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, along with rapid delivery companies like Eternal Ltd’s Blinkt, Swiggy Ltd’s Instamart, and Zepto.
Amazon has invested USD 40 billion in India since 2010. In 2023, it announced an investment of USD 26 billion.
The new investment will facilitate an increase in exports from India to USD 80 billion by 2030, up from USD 20 billion.
The investments, it stated, are “strategically aligned with India’s national priorities and will concentrate on expanding AI capabilities, improving logistics infrastructure, supporting the growth of small businesses, and generating employment opportunities.” “We are enthusiastic about maintaining our role as a catalyst for India’s development, as we expand access to AI for millions of Indians,” stated Amit Agarwal, chief of emerging markets at Amazon.
During the Amazon Smbhav Summit, Agarwal announced that the company aims to quadruple exports from India to USD 80 billion, up from approximately USD 20 billion currently facilitated, and to generate an additional one million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs by 2030.

Amazon has invested a total of USD 40 billion in India since 2010. Now, we will allocate an additional USD 35 billion to be invested across all our enterprises in India by 2030, said Agarwal.
Agarwal stated that the company has invested USD 40 billion in India to date and is the country’s leading foreign investor, according to a Keystone report based on publicly available data.
In May 2023, Amazon disclosed its intention to allocate USD 12.7 billion in India by 2030, focusing on the development of its local cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure within Telangana and Maharashtra. The company has previously invested USD 3.7 billion in India during the period from 2016 to 2022.
Agarwal stated that the company has made substantial investments in developing both physical and digital infrastructure, including fulfillment centers, transportation networks, data centers, digital payments infrastructure, and technology development.
According to the Keystone report, Amazon has digitized more than 12 million small businesses and facilitated a total of USD 20 billion in e-commerce exports, while supporting approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across various industries in India in 2024.
To promote export development from India, Amazon initiated a manufacturing-oriented program, “Accelerate Exports,” aimed at linking digital entrepreneurs with reputable manufacturers and empowering manufacturers to achieve success as global sellers.
As part of the initiative, Amazon will conduct on-site induction sessions across more than 10 manufacturing clusters throughout India, including Tirupur, Kanpur, and Surat.
At the Smbhav summit, Amazon announced a strategic partnership with the Apparel Export Promotion Council of India to facilitate the program’s nationwide expansion and scaling.
