Amazon has announced that it will invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, marking one of the company’s largest long-term commitments to the country. This investment will build on the nearly $40 billion Amazon has already deployed over the past 15 years, with the aim of expanding digital infrastructure, driving AI-powered development, boosting exports, and creating millions of jobs.
The announcement was made at the Amazon Smbhav Summit 2025 in New Delhi, where an Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy highlighted Amazon’s strong presence in India. The report identified Amazon as one of the largest foreign investors and a leading enabler of e-commerce exports in the country. The company has already digitized 12 million small businesses, supported $20 billion in cumulative exports, and contributed to 2.8 million jobs across technology, logistics, operations, and customer support.
Amazon plans to deepen its infrastructure expansion by investing in fulfillment centers, transportation networks, data centers, digital payments systems, and advanced technology development. By 2030, the company aims to support 3.8 million jobs, including direct, indirect, and seasonal employment, across multiple industries such as packaging, manufacturing, and logistics.
A significant focus of the new investment will be on AI-driven transformation. Amazon plans to bring the benefits of artificial intelligence to 15 million small businesses, improve customer shopping experiences through tools like Lens AI and AI-powered assistants, and empower 4 million government school students with AI education aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020.
With its strengthened commitment, Amazon aims to help India quadruple its cumulative e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030, while supporting the government’s vision of a technologically advanced, self-reliant, and globally competitive digital economy.
