Joining the wave of global tech giants investing in India, including Google and Tesla, Amazon has announced a $35 billion investment over the next five years. The move highlights India’s rising importance in its global strategy and demonstrates the company’s long-term confidence in the country’s economic potential.
The new capital will be deployed across multiple fronts, including cloud infrastructure, retail operations, logistics expansion, and a broad range of AI-driven technologies that Amazon believes will shape the next decade of growth.
This initiative builds on the roughly $40 billion the company has already invested in India, signaling that Amazon sees sustained opportunities in a market where digital consumption, enterprise cloud adoption, and e-commerce penetration are expanding rapidly.
Amazon stated that the investment aims to modernize India’s digital economy by strengthening data centres, expanding delivery and warehousing networks, and deepening partnerships with local sellers and small businesses. The plan also seeks to boost India’s export capabilities by enabling manufacturers, artisans, and consumer brands to reach global customers through Amazon’s platforms.
The company emphasized that the initiative will create new jobs in technology, logistics, and ancillary sectors while supporting millions of small businesses that rely on its marketplace.
The announcement comes alongside a new Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy, which sheds light on Amazon’s deep-rooted presence in India. Since 2010, the company has pumped in nearly $40 billion across infrastructure, technology, workforce development, and digitization initiatives. Keystone notes that Amazon has emerged as India’s largest foreign investor, the leading force behind e-commerce exports, and a major job creator.
