The investment will be used to expand Amazon Web Services' (AWS) data centre capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad, enabling startups, enterprises and government organisations to access advanced AI and cloud technologies, including custom AI chips, managed AI services, developer tools and secure cloud infrastructure.The move comes at a time when India is emerging as a key market in the global AI race, with technology companies ramping up investments to support growing demand for AI workloads and cloud services.Amazon's India investment crosses $88 billionWith the new commitments, Amazon's cumulative investments in India between 2010 and 2030 will exceed $88 billion.

The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses," Jassy said."As we grow Amazon in India, our business priorities continue to align with India's priorities of democratizing access to AI, digitising small businesses, creating jobs, and enabling exports," he added.Amazon said it has digitised 12 million small businesses since entering India, enabled more than $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports and supported 2.8 million jobs. The company has also trained over 10 million Indians in cloud skills.By 2030, Amazon aims to support 3.8 million jobs, enable $80 billion in cumulative exports, extend AI benefits to 15 million small businesses and provide AI education to 4 million government school students.Expanding ecommerce and quick commerce networkAlongside investments in technology infrastructure, Amazon plans to continue expanding the operations network supporting its ecommerce and quick commerce businesses.The company said it will launch more than 20 new fulfilment centres and over 100 new last-mile delivery stations this year. The expansion is expected to improve delivery speeds and reliability across the country, particularly in tier-III and tier-IV cities.Amazon said it is witnessing increasing demand from smaller cities, with 85% of new customers and more than 65% of orders now coming from tier-II and tier-III markets.The company also highlighted the growth of its Prime membership programme, with over 70% of new Prime members coming from non-metro cities.Sammaan programme for delivery associatesAmazon India also announced 'Sammaan', a welfare programme aimed at supporting thousands of delivery associates working across its logistics network.The initiative will include scholarships for associates' children, access to government welfare and financial inclusion programmes, insurance coverage, road safety measures and other support services.As part of the programme, Amazon plans to expand its Ashray rest centres to 250 locations this year, making them accessible to delivery associates across the industry.The company said a portion of its recently announced $300 million investment in operations and associate well-being will be directed towards scaling these initiatives.Focus on AI-led growthAmazon said the additional AI and cloud investment will strengthen AWS infrastructure in India and provide customers access to technologies such as Trainium AI chips and Amazon Bedrock.Hundreds of thousands of enterprises, startups and government agencies already use AWS in India, including organisations such as the National Health Authority, Government e-Marketplace, Apollo Tyres, Delhivery, Physics Wallah, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank.The company said the investments are aligned with India's priorities around AI-led digitisation, job creation and export growth, as it seeks to play a larger role in the country's digital transformation."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," Jassy said.
