Amazon CEO Andy Jassy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday, June 25, 2026, and announced a fresh $13 billion investment in India to expand artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure by 2030. The commitment pushes Amazon’s total planned capital infusion in the country to $48 billion over the next five years.
Jassy outlined the e-commerce giant’s broader goals in a social media post after the meeting. “By 2030, we plan to support 3.8 million jobs, enable $80 billion in ecomm exports, and bring benefits of AI to 15 million small businesses and 4 million government school students,” he wrote.
The $13 billion addition brings Amazon’s total planned spending on AI and cloud infrastructure in India to more than $21 billion between 2026 and 2030. This makes Amazon one of the largest global investors in these technologies within the country.
According to an Amazon statement, the investment will expand AWS data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Startups, enterprises, and government organisations will gain access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure cloud technologies, and developer tools to accelerate innovation and scale globally.
With this latest round, Amazon’s cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 will exceed $88 billion. Jassy noted the company has been serving Indian customers, sellers, developers, startups, and enterprises for over a decade. “Still early days for what we can build,” he said.
