Amazon has announced a further $13 billion investment in India’s AI and cloud infrastructure, bringing its total committed spending in the country to $48 billion. The announcement was made following a meeting between CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, and will fund the expansion of Amazon Web Services data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The commitment marks Amazon’s third major India investment pledge in as many years, following a $15 billion announcement in 2023 and an additional $35 billion commitment in December 2025. The company did not detail how the full $48 billion would be allocated across its India operations, with long-term technology commitments of this kind typically spanning both capital and operating expenditure.
Amazon’s move is part of a broader wave of AI infrastructure investment flowing into India. Microsoft has pledged $17.5 billion by 2029, and Google has committed $15 billion toward an AI hub and data centre build-out. Domestic conglomerates Reliance Industries and Adani Group have each announced commitments exceeding $100 billion for AI-related infrastructure, while international investors including AirTrunk and CPP Investments have also entered the market.
India has actively courted this capital through policy incentives, including tax exemptions for foreign cloud providers running overseas workloads from Indian data centres — positioning the country as a central node in the global AI infrastructure race.
