Amazon commits an additional $13 billion（約2.1兆円） to expand AI infrastructure in India through 2030, bringing its total investment pledge in the country to $48 billion（約7.7兆円）.

What happened

Amazon announced Thursday it would invest an additional $13 billion（約2.1兆円） to expand Amazon Web Services data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad through 2030. This marks the company's third major India commitment in as many years—following a $15 billion（約2.4兆円） pledge in 2023 and an over $35 billion（約5.6兆円） commitment in December 2025.

Why it matters

Global technology companies are betting India will become a major hub for computing infrastructure to power artificial intelligence. Microsoft announced a $17.5 billion（約2.8兆円） India investment by 2029, and Google committed $15 billion（約2.4兆円） to build an AI hub and data center infrastructure. Amazon's $13 billion（約2.1兆円） addition signals confidence in India's potential as a center for AI workloads, particularly as New Delhi offers tax incentives for foreign cloud providers running overseas workloads from Indian data centers.

What to watch

Amazon's total investment commitments in India now total $48 billion（約7.7兆円）. The company is also expanding its domestic retail presence, planning to open more than 20 fulfillment centers and over 100 last-mile delivery stations this year, and aims to expand its quick-commerce service Amazon Now to more than 300 cities and towns.
