New Delhi : Global e-commerce and technology giant Amazon has announced a fresh investment of 13 billion US dollars in India, marking a significant boost to its operations in the country. The investment will primarily focus on expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and cloud infrastructure.
The announcement came after a meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The discussions reportedly focused on strengthening India’s digital ecosystem, technological growth, and job creation.
According to the company, the new investment will be directed toward enhancing Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in India, including the expansion of data center capacity in cities such as Mumbai and Hyderabad. This will help provide advanced AI services, secure cloud solutions, and modern digital tools to startups, enterprises, and government institutions.
With this latest commitment, Amazon’s total planned investment in India is expected to reach approximately 48 billion dollars by 2030. The company stated that its goal is to support India in becoming a global hub for artificial intelligence and the digital economy.
Experts believe that India’s rapidly growing digital economy, rising demand for cloud services, and increasing adoption of AI-based technologies are attracting major global investments. Amazon’s announcement is seen as a significant step in this direction.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been actively promoting India as a global center for AI and digital innovation, which has encouraged such large-scale investments from global technology companies.
