Catenaa, Wednesday, December 10, 2025- Amazon plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030 to expand its operations by boosting AI capabilities and increasing exports.
The e-commerce giant said on Wednesday that the new investment will support its efforts to digitize small businesses and strengthen its logistics and operations footprint in India.
The company said it aims to enable AI access for up to 15 million small businesses and generate 1 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs by 2030.
Major US tech firms have poured billions of dollars into India this year, underscoring the country’s emergence as a strategic hub for cloud, AI, and deep‑tech growth.
Microsoft pledged an investment of $17.5 billion in India for AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030 on Tuesday, marking its largest investment in Asia, while Google has committed $15 billion over the next five years to build AI data centers.
Amazon’s investments are “strategically aligned with India’s national priorities and will focus on expanding AI capabilities, enhancing logistics infrastructure, supporting small business growth and creating jobs,” the company said in a statement.
Amazon has ramped up spending in the country to compete with Walmart-backed Flipkart and the retail arm of billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries.
The e-commerce giant, which has invested $40 billion in India since 2010, announced a $26 billion investment in 2023.
The firm also said it has helped generate more than $20 billion in cumulative exports for sellers in India in the last ten years, and plans to increase that to $80 billion by 2030.
India, the world’s most populous nation, is a critical market for Amazon due to its rapidly expanding internet user base.
Amazon stock rose by over 1% on Wednesday Morning.
