Cloud and commerce giant Amazon has revealed plans to invest $35 billion in its businesses in India by 2030.
The company has said this will build on the $40 billion invested to date, and will focus on "AI-driven digitization, export growth, and job creation."
Details about how much of the spending will go towards AI infrastructure, including data centers, have not been stated, though the company notes it aims to "accelerate digital transformation, strengthen infrastructure, and support innovation across the country."
“We are humbled to have been a part of India’s digital transformation journey over the past 15 years, with Amazon’s growth in India perfectly aligned with the vision of an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat,” said Amit Agarwal, Senior VP Emerging Markets, Amazon.
“We have invested at scale in growing the physical and digital infrastructure for small businesses in India, creating millions of jobs, and taking Made-in-India global.”
At the start of 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) committed $8.3bn to developing cloud infrastructure for just one of its cloud regions - AWS Asia-Pacific (Mumbai).
The Mumbai region launched in 2016. The company invested $3.7bn into that region between 2016 and 2022, and AWS later launched a cloud region in Hyderabad in 2022.
The commitment of $8.3bn to the Mumbai cloud region was part of a wider investment plan that will see AWS spending $12.7 billion in India as a whole, which was previously announced in May 2023.
Around the same time, the company was reportedly planning to invest a further $6.95bn in its Hyderabad region.
DCD has contacted AWS to see if the new $35bn commitment reflects an increase to the previous investment announcements in data centers.
The latest announcement notably comes just one day after Microsoft revealed it would be spending $17.5 billion on AI infrastructure in India by 2030.
In October 2025, Google confirmed it was developing a $15bn data center project in Andhra Pradesh.
