    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Pledges $48 Billion India Investment After Meeting PM Modi

    Amazon has announced a massive $48 billion investment roadmap for India through 2030, following a meeting between CEO Andy Jassy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The plan focuses on artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, logistics expansion, job creation, and digital inclusion, reinforcing Amazon’s long-term commitment to India’s growth.

    During the meeting in New Delhi on June 25, 2026, Jassy revealed an additional $13 billion to expand AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030, bringing Amazon’s total planned investment in these areas to over $21 billion between 2026 and 2030. This investment will increase AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, providing startups, enterprises, and governments with access to customized AI chips, AI managed services, secure cloud computing solutions, and developer tools.

    “We came to India over a decade ago and have since been serving customers, sellers, developers, start-ups, and enterprises through our different businesses. The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses. As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities continue to align with India’s priorities of democratizing access to AI, digitizing small businesses, creating jobs, and enabling exports,” Jassy said.

    Amazon India also launched ‘Sammaan’, a comprehensive welfare program for thousands of delivery associates in its logistics network. Initiatives include scholarships to educate associates’ children, access to government benefits and financial inclusion programs, comprehensive insurance coverage, on-road safety measures, and more. As part of the program, Amazon will expand its Ashray rest centers to 250 locations this year, open to delivery associates across the industry.

    What it Means for India’s Digital Future

    Jassy thanked Prime Minister Modi for his leadership and highlighted the growing importance of India, where Amazon operates several businesses, including e-commerce, AI, cloud, and entertainment. “We are investing over $48 billion in the coming five years to meet the strong demand across our business in India and to help the country achieve these priorities. We are inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat, and we are committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story,” he added.

    This investment from Amazon is expected to accelerate the digital revolution in India by improving its technological infrastructure, cloud computing, logistics, and innovation ecosystem. It signals that the rest of the world sees India as a digital powerhouse of the future.
